Anyone got any other vids where the music takes off?

Flawless playing Simon! I'm impressed with how you can keep the drones going through all those triplets. Is that an old Sobel cittern?
It appears thou hast misconstrued, sir. 'Tis not Simon, but Dagger, who's a-soarin' on the cittern.
But that's just my opinion. I could be wrong. - Dennis Miller

The video is indeed of David A Gordon, one of Scotland's top mandolin players. He has had the 5-course Sobell for a long time and you will see it is fitted with a Mike Vanden (later to become Fishman) pickup. As far as I remember Mike had his workshop up in the north of Scotland at the time. I was lucky enough to try Dagger's mandolin at a kitchen session in Kevin Macleod's home in Achiltibuie a few years back during the Summer Isles Festival, an evening to remember.
I'm playing all the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order. - Eric Morecambe
