Islington Folk Club, www.islingtonfolkclub.co.uk/ifc.html.

Country: Britain. Style: Blues.

Lineup: Simon Hindley (v/resonator g).

Simon Hindley is best known as a Blues guitarist (though he may also be a Classical clarinetist (depending on whether or not you believe the suggestion on the Possum Lickers web site). For his solo spot he played on a Tricone Resonator Guitar made by the National Reso-Phonic company (they adopted the name and trademark of the original National String Co of the 1920/30s). He had a busy night, also playing Traditional English tunes with the Club’s resident band the Angel Band (for photos see: www.flickr.com/photos/kmlivemusic/sets/72157626284981092/) and joining Ken Hall and Peta Webb to provide harmonies on the Bluegrass/Old Time song “Auction at the Home Place”.
