Nigel Mctrustry & Alan Payton - 24 Sep 2020

Had the privilege and the honour of a visit by one of Australia’s premier and most respected Cigar Box Builders and Performers a few days back, “Mr Nigel McTrustry”, he spent an hour or two, looking over over my collection of builds, playing some of them, and of course we talked all things CBG, Slide Guitar & Blues etc, the meeting also confirmed my thoughts about him being a quiet unassuming “Gentleman”.
Thank You for the pleasurable visit Nigel! :-)

Yep! Denbo, was also one of the first performers I subscribed to as well, and did have a chance to see perform at a CBG festival a few years back  :-)

"Thanks Guys", apart from being a builder of quality CBG's and a fine performer, he was very instrumental in the early days of my CBG addiction, with his very easy to understand, no-nonsense, non-waffling Tutorials :-)

I bet you had an awesome time and an honour to have some of your instruments played by him.
