Euan Cattanach - the man who gave Billy Connolly a banjo

Euan F Cattanach hails from a long line of retired gamekeepers. Here though is one keeper who has a few extra strings to his bow. Working from his shed in Aberfeldy in Perthshire, Euan Cattanach is one of a few 'band of brothers' making banjos. His workshop recently had no other than Billy Connolly dropping by for a visit to Chattan Luthiery where Euan gifted him a fretless banjo

came across this mans site recently when looking for someone in Scotland who makes banjos, fully read the customer testimony on the home page before realising I was reading the words of Big Billy Connolly himself.
Was sad to see Euan had passed.
Very grateful to have this video recommended to me this morning, Cheers from Ayr in west Scotland.
