What are the most unlikely  songs you can imagine , sung by Nation members?! A few to start off: "I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Out Of My Hair", sung by Uncle John. "When You're Smiling" sung by Clock.  "I'm Shy, Mary Ellen, I'm Shy"  sung by  Bug.......

Hi, Guys,

Just to say hello.

I'm pretty new to this.

Just built one CBG & sorted myself out with an amp. 

Putting together a collection of stuff to build a second, hopefully better, one.

Sourced a fretboard from ChickenboneJohn, nice bit of kit, thanks John.

Now looking for a box.

CBGBill.

We were there last year...we're going again this year..will you be there? Muddy Roots Europe, Waardamme Belgium....just an hour's drive off the Dunkirk Ferry or the Channel Tunnel, 20th-22nd June. If you are going to go to just ONE music event this year...make it Muddy Roots Europe...join me Hollowbelly, Paul Smith, Dylan Walshe and a few other UK & Irish diehards travelling over for a weekend of the wildest, most down home groovy music and togetherness.  Having a good time not your bag?   Too bad.
