We’ve had the ukulele revival, now here comes the mandolin revival! The Mandolinquents are Britain's first modern mandolin quartet and their infectious sense of fun influences everything they play, from lively reels to traditional airs and hot swing to ragtime. In the 1930s mandolin orchestras were all the rage - every self-respecting town had one. Today the mandolin is undergoing a huge revival in folk and indie bands as well as in classical circles, and its years of confinement to back bedrooms (where legions of enthusiasts had been hiding away) are at an end.
