We first met banjo player Steven McCluskey back in the late 1980’s when he won the banjo competition at Edale at a young age so it was with great delight and anticipation that I received a CD from him about the Scottish band GREEN GOBLIN that he now plays in. 4 home produced tracks of a very high quality was the result. Steven always had a fast pair of hands and so do the rest of the members of GREEN GOBLIN . However its not just about speed and the band play with good taste and timing and if you are a Flecktones fan then you will no doubt like this band. They do have their own distinctive style and material. ‘Old Joe Clarke’ gets a complete revamp and this CD demo’ is impressive in every department. I hope someone somewhere gives them a record deal because given studio time and money I think they would produce some high quality music for everyone . In the meantime you can check it ALL out on their web-site at www.greengoblinband.com ....its well worth it especially the art work which is simply stunning!!!

After months spent in the studio, popular group GreenGoblin's new album Passing Place is finally complete.
Pulling together traditional country, Celtic and bluegrass is not easy and the band have spent months crafting the finished product.
Was it worth it? A resounding yes!
The band blends a broad range of genres together and from opening track Roll n Rock it's clear the band are rolling along like a well-oiled machine.
There is no doubt GreenGoblin are a band going places and what is great about Passing Place is that you can't pigeonhole it into a particular genre.
Is it country, Celtic, rock or bluegrass?
Whatever it is, it's well worth a listen.
