Hooks' Professional Banjo Trimmings's History

Who was Bolsover Gibbs?

I am often asked why I make a "B. Gibbs" model bridge.  It is simple, Deering Banjo Co. has registered the name "S. S. Stewart" as a trademark and is sitting on it (since 1998) as well as a others like "Fairbanks" and "Cole".  So I could not call them "Stewart" model bridges without infringing on the Derring IP.

So why B. Gibbs?  Bolsover Gibbs was someone I discovered while reading old issues of the "S. S. Stewart Banjo & Guitar Journal".  He also composed some fine pieces that Stewart published. 


I am pleased to offer, for the first time ever, the Complete Works of Bolsover Gibbs, with comprehensive biography.

This E-Book (PDF) is a $49.99 value being offered entirely FREE!  That is right, at no cost to you, all of the compositions by this fine composer is at your fingertips.

There was no grant money used for this project, this was all done on my own time and expense.
