Description
Four years on from their debut album Coleraine's Damien O'Kane and California's Ron Block will revive their spectacular partnership in a second release celebrating the unbelievable scope - in their brilliant hands - of the humble banjo.
A perfect, exuberant antidote to these troubled times, Banjophonics is an out-and-out riposte to low spirits, guaranteed to put a smile on your face whilst toasting the importance of family and friends.
The end result is a peppy, thrilling rollercoaster ride which showcases an instrument that proves incredibly versatile in the right hands – both showy and subtle. The pair are joined by a host of stellar guests – the U.S. contingent comprising mandolin star Sierra Hull, double bassist Barry Bales and percussionist Jay Bellerose. From this side of the pond, the star-studded list continues with regulars Steven Byrnes on guitar, Duncan Lyall on double bass and Moog and Josh Clark on drums and percussion and single track appearances from the inestimable Michael McGoldrick on whistle, David Kosky on guitar and Kate Rusby on backing vocals.
