Who needs amps ?? !!!

Hi there !

My mate took a short video clip of me busking with my 1935 National Duolian resonator guitar - to drum up some people to come into my gig - a 1.30pm start on a saturday afternoon, in a basement bar, during a blues festival where about 20 pubs simultaneously had other gigs going on - stiff competition !

This guitar is great for outside work as it is so loud acoustically.
The audio is recorded from the inbuilt mic on my wee digital camera.
Unfortunately, the audio and video are not in sync, by the time it the hosting website had downsized the file, but here it is anyway :

Good lad Richard...really enjoyed the gig in The Balcony Bar last Saturday. Everyone sounded really good.

When was the video taken? was that South Tay Street?

Hope the rest of the Blues Bonaza went well.
