tauzero Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Well, the actual description is "ex Black Dyke Mills Band owner, old and rare", although whether it's the banjo or the owner that's old and rare is open to creative interpretation. I thought pete.young must be making some reference to political correctness, as I'm sure that there would be great exception taken to a Black Dyke band these days if it didn't contain a significant number of Afro-Caribbean lesbians.

[/quote] I haven't seen them play for a while, so they might well. I've had a nice chat with the seller who seems like a thoroughly nice chap, and he's edited the description. I was just baffled by the idea that anyone could think Black Dyke would have a banjo player, but maybe I'm too Brass Band geek for my own good.

Owen Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I heard that they had to change their name to play in NYC. That might be an apocryphal story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
