John Reischman and the Jaybirds in the UK (photos)

John and the Jaybirds are currently touring the UK. I saw them last night out in a small hall in a field in Pembrokeshire. They played beautifully, songs and instrumentals, such an amazingly talented group of people. My long term concert-going friend commented that it was one of the best gigs of his life.
They mingled and chatted with the small crowd after the show and John indulged my interest in his Loar which sounded as sweet as I had heard people say.
A great night and an honour to meet one of my all time mandolin heroes.
