Message from Damien:
Hi People,
I had my tenor banjo stolen last night (Tuesday 9th Oct) in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, the Quayside. It is a rare instrument made by Phil Davidson, made from birds eye maple with a celtic design on the back of the neck at the body and it has my nickname 'dee' inlayed at the back of the neck behind the celtic design. Please pass the word around as much as poss.
Damien - Less than an hour ago I was just listening to 'Fishing With Calum' with a friend of mine and we were just commenting on how lovely the banjo (and your playing) sounded. I sincerely hope it comes back to you somehow. Don't know what the chances are of it turning up in Mid Wales, but I'll keep an eye out.
Sorry the hear it
Try and spread word around to Pawnbrokers, & 2nd hand shops
My sister 's whistles and flutes were stolen and she got them back that way, also a friend Concertina recovered the same way.

Damien O' Kane, who actually comes from this neck of the woods, the Triangle area of the Causeway Coast, had his tenor banjo stolen recently in Newcastle!
It is a rare instrument, made by Phil Davidson, from birds eye maple with a celtic design on the back of the neck at the body and it has his nickname 'dee' inlayed at the back of the neck, behind the celtic design.
Not to give Newcastle a bad name, but it seems like it's a place where you have to watch out. Two boxes were stolen there recently as well.
(one was put up for auction on E-bay, with a Tyneside address !)
