Duelling Banjos by Cricklewood

Slightly different version of this tune ending with 2 banjos fighting it out! From an old 1977 tape cassette featuring Ali Fyvie,Gerry McKenna,Essie McLean and Ali Whitwell.

another superb version of how bluegrass should be played.where have you been all these years?dave

[aliwhitwell]

@11070100 Thanks Dave. Cricklewood broke up many years ago but Ali Fyvie and Gerry McKenna (both banjo pickers) started up other bands over the years. Ali now does some session stuff and Gerry plays with a band called North Sea Gas sometimes. I'm hoping to have a wee jam with them both sometime soon.

Beautifully played and ... raw! Very authentic sound! Should be featured on You Tube.

[aliwhitwell]

Thank you.

[aliwhitwell]

Thank you. Unfortunately not the best quality but hey it was recorded a long time ago.

[aliwhitwell]

Hey thanks for that. I'll pass on your comment. I'm sure Gerry will be delighted to hear it.

[aliwhitwell]

Thanks. It meant a great deal to Ali, Gerry and me too. Essie was a great friend, brilliant musician and singer. He will be sadly missed.

With gratitude to Ali and the boys for the beautifull contribution of Tequila Sunrise played at the funeral of Essie..

It meant a lot to two of us
