All invited to turn up at 1930 this Friday evening to see if there is any interest in arranging some sort of regular evening. The more the merrier,and bring ideas for the form that you would like to see any such venture taking. I will be attending and would be nice to see as many faces as possible so i dont get too lonely and have to drink all the cheap guiness by meselfs. Will take bodhran just in case. |

01 Nov 05 - 09:27 AM (#1594937) Subject: RE: informal meeting for Irish Music Fans From: Tim theTwangler I would hsve thought so mate would be better to mail noel to check no glitches with being a new set up and all The core group are all new players and seem to prefer ballad type materiel if that is any use to you. They are also a nice bunch and very keen if inexperienced you may find that they need some coaching to bring them out of their shell a bit. it isnt exactly like sitting in the pub at Brock and jammimg with Dave john and octopus man!He HE but if the likes of Dougie Fast eddie and freaky fil crowder go along for the after 9 bit will be great |
