Looking for some collaborators on this one. Anyone care for putting some mandolin, fiddle, dobro. Im going to lay down some upright bass on it later. Also be good to get an acoustic guitar solo on it, not happy with my own playing on this one. Please get in touch if interested! Cheers John

Hi there, I'm a double bassist, bass guitarist, mandolinist and acoustic guitarist. I'm based in Glasgow in the west of Scotland and am always looking for collaborators and musicians for tunes. My love is bluegrass music, whether traditional or more progressive. I co-run a bluegrass session on the last Monday of every month in Glasgow at Bar Gumbo. If you are in town check it out. Hope you enjoy.
