"There's a nice mention of him with some biographical details and a photo in the March 1955 BMG.  Page 158-9"

"Thank you Brett. I met Tarrant Bailey on several occasions and even got a few playing tips from him!  He was a master of both fingerstyle and plectrum style as we can hear in these recordings. I particularly like Twinkletoes and must have a go…"

"I sent the video to Alan Middleton, here is his response: I can  identify my father and I arriving with two banjo cases and my Lacôte guitar in its original wooden case at 7:24 according to the time line.  I hadn’t realised I…"

"I've sent the film clip to Alan Middleton who was there at the time. He's 94 years old now but his mind is a sharp as a wire first string. I can remember a few of the faces but he will be able to name them all. He lives in Norfolk so we…"

"Thanks you so much.  I have the original version, but this revised edition and as a pdf is a great resourse"

"Hello Rob, Thanks so much for these and the videos.  I have enjoyed the videos of your banjo orchestra many times over the last few years and am greatly inspired to create something similar here in New Zealand.   Kindest…"
