Finally.

A plucky Irish hipster George Formby with Deliverance-standard chops and geek sensibilities.

Ollie sez:

“I’m Banjo Guy Ollie an Irish youtuber and I do covers of Video Game Music and TV series on the banjo. I’ve a few done, 19 covers at this time, but my Zelda Darkworld and Game of Thrones (above) are the most popular…”

Highly recommended: Megaman X AND Castlevania.

Following up on their YouTube-rattling version of Early Scruggs’ Flint Hill Special from last year, the talented Mizzone Brothers nail Arthur Guitar Boogie’ Smith’s ‘Duelling Banjos’ (made famous by the film Deliverance).

Nine year-old banjo picker Jonny Mizzone along with his brothers Robbie (13) on fiddle, and Tommy (14) on guitar, are The Sleepy Man Banjo Boys. Though their combined age is younger than music’s Hip-Hop era, it’s the 1950’s music of Flatt & Scruggs & The Stanley Brothers that inspires them.
