Hollowbelly playing 3 strings - Glastonbury 2017

Mark of Cain played on 3 string license plate guitar. Part of our daily performances at ChickenboneJohn Guitars stall at Glastonbury. Interestingly, I looked at how much stuff we sold and reckon we must have sold something to at least 1 in every 500 people who were there. Now that might not sound like much on the face of it, but there were about 175 000 people at the festival!

Nice - looks like more fun than the 'trial by mud' of last year.

Sounds like it went very very well for you John! Awesome on the sales man!

HB is in top form! Lovin' it  :-)

Say Howdy to all the Mofo Bro's for me. Hoping to make it over there one of these days.

Nice groove, well played that man! 

Our eldest plays and actually flew in from New Zealand just so he could get his annual 'Glasto Fix' (oh yeah, and see his family too.....kids eh!!) I told him to make sure and look up Chickenbone John but he said every time he tried it was rammed!!! Well done John, and pleased it was a succesful fest for you....richly deserved in my opinion.

Which reminds me.....I need to get another order in soon......!!

I have to get my lazy feet working more when I play. I feel whiplash just watching! Entertaining! Successful trip, plus you got to hear a lot of good music.

Yes, what Dave said.  But smooth at the same time.  Congrats on the fest.
