Yeah June Carter did play one. I watched that Johnny Cash film and saw her playing an autoharp and like a fool I have just bought one...seems easy to play, not very rock n roll though

I probably look foolish, will not be played in public. Lovely sound though.

Didn't bother going in the end - discovered it was an EAR show, not quite my cup of tea.

Did see him (or at least someone who looked like him) out on Harcourt Street jogging beforehand though...
