KM's Live Music shots has added a photo to the pool:

5th June 2015 at the Green Note, London NW1.

Country: United States. Style: Bluegrass & Old TIme & Vaudeville.

Lineup: Ben Belcher (v/banjo/fiddle/b), Josh Bearman (v/mandolin/banjo/tenor banjo/b), Ed Brogan (v/g), Jake Sellers (d/washboard/b).

This group from Richmond, VA had it first gig (as Special Ed and the Short Bus) in Spring 2001 (with Belcher and Brogan in the lineup). I saw them in 2009 (shortly after the name change), and there has only be one lineup change since then. Founder member Aaron Jonah Lewis left and was replaced by Graham DeZarn (who was with them on this UK tour but missed this gig, flying back to the USA a few days early).
In this photo: Bearman plays a Mandolin made by Scott Carey of Culpeper, VA.
