This video was produced by banjo enthusiast Gordon Dando back in 2001. It used to do the rounds on VHS and then occasionally on DVD. When the great Helmut Rheingans found a rare DVD version we decided it should be made more widely available.
I asked classic banjo virtuoso Chris Sands, who appears in the original video to make a new introduction and we posted it on his YouTube page. If you don’t know Chris’ playing you should check him out.
In the video Gordon presented unique videos of four of the finest classic banjo players in the form of Tarrant Bailey Jnr, Horace Craddy, William Ball and Chris Sands. This unique footage showcases some stunning banjo playing.
It was a privilege to have helped revive this video for a new audience.
