Way back in the late 1990s/early 2000s I happened to be collecting my wife from the swimming pool in Walton on The Naze, Essex.
I parked the car, switched off the engine and was assailed by the sound of resonators being played with great gusto.
Having located the source of the sounds I discovered a group of men (about 4 or 5 of 'em) playing shiny guitars together on a stage in the nearby community centre as part of the Walton Folk Festival.
It was at the start of my quest to learn slide guitar and I was fascinated.
However, the missus wouldn't let me hang about for more than a minute - we had to go shopping!
I've always wondered who this troupe were and where they came from.
Does anyone know who they were?
Were any of you people involved?
Thanks in anticipation.

PS - I think 'The Albion Band' were headlining the week-end festival, but I'm probably wrong.
