I wonder if I might draw on your collective knowledge, which I know is pretty extensive, and ask Does anyone know who G W Temlett is? This is the name stamped on the neck of my Banjo-Ukulele. Now…Continue

"Hello again, Carrie,
I know you are interested in the Music Hall. Family legend has it that my distant relative Alfred Glanville Vance (name regularly mis-spelled including Wikipedia), aka 'The Great Vance' played a Temlett ZB…"
"Hi Jake. Thanks for the nice comments. I’m afraid I don’t know Mark Temlett, unfortunately.

"I'm glad to see you are still going strong. Do you know Mark Temlett? He is the great great grandson of William Temlett Snr and I would love to get in contact with him about a ukulele-banjo probably made by his famous…"
"I wonder if there is any truth in the family legend that my distant relative Alfred Peck Stevens aka Alfred Glanville Vance aka The Great Vance, played a William Temlett Snr. zither-banjo shortly before his death on stage at The Sun Music Hall in…"
"PS. Sorry for the typo. It's John Werro, of course.
Jake."
"Dear Jody,
I realise your initial inquiry was about 6 months ago, but you don't seem to have had many replies. I have never played or heard a John Worro banjo, but I have seen a couple. In fact there is one for sale on Ebay at this very moment…"
"Hello Carrie,
Thanks once again for your comment.
Yes, The Buddy Bolden 'cylinder' was my masterpiece. I cobbled together the sound of a blank wax cylinder at 80 rpm added to Humph playing Make Me A Pallet On The Floor…"
"Good to see you, Clem. Now I know the world of the zither-banjo is in good hands!
Best Regards,
Black Jake of Norwich."
"Thanks very much Brett, for the recordings! They're of very high quality, and I really appreciate them. I have one of Tarrant Bailey's banjos, or at least I think so as it has his name inside, and the date: 31/1/48. …"
"Hello Owen,
Thanks for the post. I love old zither-banjos. Just thought I'd point out that it's unlikely that yours dates from the 1940's. In 1940 (December,I think) the factory was Blitzed by the Luftwaffe, and…"

I wonder if I might draw on your collective knowledge, which I know is pretty extensive, and ask Does anyone know who G W Temlett is? This is the name stamped on the neck of my Banjo-Ukulele. Now I know William Temlett Senior and his son W E Temlett (also William) Junior. These are among the most famous of English banjo makers, but who is 'G W'? I'm mystified.The head, or drum, of my banjo-uke is unquestionably by Temlett Senior, and from a 5-string zither-banjo, but 'G W TEMLETT, MAKER,…See More
"I'm very interested in Tarrant Bailey as I have a couple of his 78's somewhere, and possibly one of his banjos -his name is inside and the date 31/1/48. The banjo ia an English 5-string Zither Banjo made by William Temlett Senior of…"
"Many thanks for your reply Rob. Where can I purchase one of these 15 minute LP's of you playing zither banjo? And how much including postage?
All the best,
Black Jake."
