Mary Anne celebrates the banjo with folk artist Kate Stables.

Kate plays banjo, guitar, percussion, and sings in the Bristol/Paris-based outfit This is the Kit, and wants to convince you of its musical goodness...

Expect tunes from fellow banjo players, Pete Seeger and Rachel Dadd, plus tips on how to make the best of your own four, five or (occasionally) six-stringed instrument...

This is the Kit's third album 'Bashed Out', has been produced by Aaron Dessner of The National, and comes out later this year.
