@josborne26 Thanks! Sorry, I was being stoopid, for some reason my banjo was tuned a tone high so I've been playing in A for ages anyway without realising it. On the plus side, I've found it plays easier capoed at 2 (has lowered the action a bit) so I might just keep it there...

Very GOOD! My compliments to anyone that can make use of the 5th string as it has always seemed to just be in the way to me.
Again, very good.

Hi, great playing! I'm trying to learn this - possibly a stupid question, in which case I apologise in advance, but it seems you've capoed at 2 but tuned strings 1-4 down 2 tones, so that in effect the banjo is just tuned to open G as normal. Is there any advantage in doing so? Just making fingering easier?

@Gallywomack I'm tuned in standard G tuning capoed at 2nd fret. This makes the song in the key of A. I try to learn most tunes in A or D as these are common keys for fiddlers.

LOVE this version - are their tabs available for this?

Thanks for the comment damiancasey. I didn't use tab for this. It's pretty simple to play, though, I'm sure you can learn it by watching the video a few times.
Thanks again, Jeff

Thank-you for the comment mei523. Sally Ann is the name of a girl, and she is the object of someones affection. Here are some of the words:
O where are you going Sally Anne (x3)
I'm going to the wedding, Sally Anne.
***
O shake that little foot, Sally Anne (x3)
You're a pretty good dancer, Sally Anne.
