Time for a stray thought? Maybe. I’ve always wondered if by combining a guitar, flute/penny whistle, violin, bass and bazouki/mandolin — sometimes all, sometimes less — there wasn’t a subconscious effort to recreate the English broken consort? Even in blue grass bands one gets something of the same variety. Yet nothing of the sort seems to predate the broken consort. Hmmm.
