Workshop - Clawhammer banjo with Dan Walsh @ Moseley Folk Festival


Workshop - Clawhammer banjo with Dan Walsh

Dan Walsh's unique approach to clawhammer banjo has earned him much acclaim from Maverick and FRoots magazines, the banjo newsletter and even Hayseed Dixie's Don Wayne Reno who described him as the best banjo player in the UK. Although he has explored countless different styles including folk, funk, bluegrass, jazz, Latin and Arabic, it is all rooted in old-time clawhammer frailing.

This workshop is an introduction to clawhammer style banjo, a banjo style that lends itself well to both solo and ensemble playing. Beginners will be taken from the beginning but it will also be useful to more advanced players in honing their techniques and being introduced to new ways to approach their playing.

If you play the 5-string banjo, bring it along. Otherwise you can just listen!
