Fairport Convention

[altariel]

Last night was the night that all good Cambridge crusties assembled in the Corn Exchange to laugh at jokes nearly as old as the band telling them. Oh, and listen to some folk-music-with-drum-and-bass. Amongst the classics, there was a new song by Chris Leslie about a man who travelled with Lord John Franklin, but the highlight of my evening was seeing this.

A bloody bass mandolin! Look at the size of it! (You can see it with the whole person attached here.) I mean, who knew such a thing existed?!?

The funniest thing was that I didn't see it straight away, because there was an amp in the way. When Mr A. pointed it out, I nearly hit the ceiling. Not often a mandobass jumps out on you.

It's self-propelling too?

Didn't you see the feet at the bottom of the first picture?

Is it related to The Luggage do you think?
A musical cousin perhaps?

Hee! I love that idea!
