Interesting tuning ! Thing is he can play virtually anything extremely well, I love Show of Hands and I have been lucky to see them numerous times at our locale folk club over the last 30 years.
Thanks for sharing that. This is the first time I have heard of him. Great sounding tenor interesting tuning. I some times fingerpick using DGDA tuning.

A bunch of stuff with four strings
Show of hands have dozens of videos they are very well known in the U.K. Phil Beer, the guy with the beard, often swaps instruments during their performances and he also does a great one man show.

he and I are very similar - vocal range i mean, as i do gravitate to capo at fifth, but the reason I do GDAD is so that I can capo at Bb
Also I fingerpick, so he's not met me... well he has, but i didn't play mandolin even back then...

never quite sure of bridge - there's a vid of what PB does on the mando somewheres... not that i couldn't work it out, i vamp the intro but i have the attention span of a gnat for learning others' tunes.

I enjoyed his video. Thanks for posting!
Its not a backwards guitar.
Now we have Phil from the band with his tenor guitar show...
Here is another one from Steve....
he's got a harmonica mounted - i'm not sure i want to go there... !
Fact fans - the mandolin shaped black guitar is in fact a Brook guitar. I have one of their regular acoustics - lovely things.

Ha ha i often carry one in my pocket especially around this time of year (Christmas) but never mastered playing guitar and harp at the same time!
Two super great resources, Fox many thanks for posting the videos! I've been looking for a bit of tenor inspiration.
