Dave Onions

We struggled to put into words the mind-blowing complexity of Dave's work - so instead, we'll let our cameraman Jim Lowe introduce him: "Like many others, I suspect I have a bit of a stereotype in my head of what mandolin playing should sound like - kind of gentle and folky, maybe, but check out this piece of playing from Dave Onions and have these pre-conceptions blown away!"
