Dueling Banjos by Flats & Sharps (on a Bristol to London Train)

Well we don't normally play Dueling Banjos as a rule, but seeing as someone on the train asked us NICELY we thought we'd have a go...

People don’t understand the responsibility of being this capable at bluegrass. There’s always a risk of friction fire, summoning the dead to dance, or spreading highly contagious “yee-yees”

[vidiottheowl]

banjo somehow manages to be the goofiest and coolest instrument all at the same time

[squallleonhart]

"We're nearly at London Kirk" As dude was stuck on repeat kills me every time

The teacher: And you better start paying attention because this is important-
The boys in the back:

The Banjo player has been waiting his entire life for this moment.

[Implexity]

I didn’t know Anakin used the force to play the banjo like a mad man.

[drakkondarkspell]

I have concerns that four lads from Cornwall play American bluegrass this well. The banjo work is especially well done.

[Boedinator]

I like to imagine while all this is going down the conductor just passed out and they’re on a speeding out of control train with frantic bluegrass playing while whacky hijinks ensue and they’re blissfully unaware and just having a great time

[artofroy]

Musicians dueling in random places is the best thing in this world

[julianruiz]

If someone is walking around with a banjo, they’re actively looking for a duel

[daie]

That was an awsome deliverance of a superb tune! Well played!

[minidreschi]

*Banjos play
*Train +10% speed and starts to exhaust steam

Epic Sax battle : ✅
Epic Banjo battle : ✅
Now i need epic piano battle on train

[MrMitchbow]

The bass player is sick of hanging out with his friends because they always bring their instruments and keep breaking out in to jam sessions everywhere they go and whenever they hang they make him carry around that massive instrument just in case they need some backup and he just wants to go out to the pub

[mitochondrialarson]

Literally the best thing to ever come out of the London public transport

[leventeczegledi]

In England: Epic banjo battle
In New York: Epic Sax battle
nice

Damn, it’s been more than 3 years and my comment got so much attention. I’m going to note it in my CV because I grew up since then. Crazy times!

[ThePengu_]

listening to a good banjo riff is definitely above self actualization on Maslow's hierarchy of needs

[valenquinte]

Meanwhile in an underground train, 2 guys are having a sax battle

Were I on that train, being from Tennessee, I'd probably think I'd entered the twilight zone. Of course as a graduate of the University of Tennessee, the best rendition of Rocky Top I've ever heard was in the Village on a student trip to NYC. Neighborhood bar with about 9 regulars, the bartender, the piano guy played for Nipsey Russell when he was in town, and 3 UT students. When the locals asked where we were from they broke out a full rendition of Rocky Top and continued to entertain us thruout the evening.
