Thought that we should introduce the band......The Banjo Player
Mark “Two-Thumbs” Nolan learned banjo the traditional way: by annoying his neighbours until they moved away. Known for playing at unsafe speeds and insisting every song “needs more banjo.” Holds the regional record for most strings broken during a single instrumental break.
The Fiddle Player
Alastair “Screech” Chisholm began fiddling at age five after being mistaken for a fire alarm. He claims his tone is “authentic Appalachian,” though several dogs have filed complaints. Specialises in tunes that sound like they’re chasing you.
The Mandolin Player
Chris “The Chop” Giubarelli is known for his aggressive mandolin chopping, which has been classified as light percussion in three counties. Once got banned from a jam session for chopping too hard during a lullaby.
The Bass Player
Steve “Big Stick” Macdonald plays bass like he’s wrestling a wardrobe. The only band member strong enough to carry the PA system and everyone’s emotional baggage. Has never smiled on stage but claims it’s “just concentration.”
Maryann “Shiraz” Frew has a rhythm guitar style which has been used by manufacturers to calibrate metronomes. She sings with the heartbreak of someone who’s been left at the altar, the station, and the Tesco self-checkout. She insists every song is about “true love” but refuses to name which one.
The Harmony Singer
“Cousin” Simon Grey joined the band after turning up to the wrong rehearsal and refusing to leave. His harmonies are so tight they’ve been used to seal Tupperware. Nobody is actually sure if he’s anyone’s cousin.
