The Kentuky was my first bouzouki which I bought from Hobgoblin at the Cambridge Folk Festival. I had always wanted to play the bouzouki after listening to Donal Lunny play in Planxty. This Bouzouki saw many years of service and was only retired when I bought my Bartram Double neck.

Back in the 70s when playing in Barnet Fair I had a spell of sharing the bass duties with the mandola player. Being students we could only afford this cheap and nasty bass guitar. I remember the original neck was so warped, we had to remove the frets to compensate for the internation. Eventually, I replaced the neck but decided it was not worth any further investment.
