On Monday 8th Oct 2007, our good friend and fantastic young musician, Damien O'Kane, had his beautiful "Erin" banjo stolen in Newcastle Upon Tyne. I'm sure you will appreciate, the true value of an instrument goes way beyond any issue of money; it's a devestating loss. Below is a description of the instrument stolen.

A rare "Erin" banjo, from the maker Phil Davidson, made from bird's eye maple with a celtic design on the bottom of the neck and the name "Dee" inlayed behind the celtic design.

Please, please keep your eyes peeled for a banjo matching this description, there's every chance it will surface on ebay or in a music shop somewhere across the land. If you do come across it, send word to us here at Flook, by emailing sarah@flook.co.uk, or call this number with any information you might have: +44 7791141542

Thanks for your help everyone.....

Sarah, Brian, Ed and John Joe
