    Folks

    The priority at the moment for us is to meet up with a banjo and fiddle player who have good abilitiy and can play at a proficient level to carry the instrumental side of things. (basically - banjo/fiddle players who know there stuff!!!).

    We're making good progress and currently up to about 35 ballad/trad songs. We have transport so we're not limited to just practising in our local area.

    Please pm me if you're interested.

    An update on proceedings..... We have located a banjo player and we are primarily looking for a proficient fiddle player to form/complete the initial core group members. As I said, we're not limiting ourselves to just that and are very interested in meeting & playing with many types of ballad & trad musicians.

    Just to confrim.... We're organising sessions where people can come along and play, share songs/music ideas etc. Basically just enjoying the music & meeting other musicians while getting the practice in and getting up to a good standard in performing the songs. From that, we are hoping to develop a sufficient number of core members to form a music group and get out gigging.... why not... the money and opportunities are out there!

    Dubliners, Wolfe Tones, Christy Moore, The Pouges songs etc.

    Please PM me if you are interested in meeting up.
