looking for people to play with

Ray Noble

I live in Knock, Mayo. Moved here from England 2 years ago. I am a guitar player of intermediate standard. I play mainly fingerstyle celtic tunes, bluegrass, ragtime, blues and anything with a good melody.Would like to here from anyone living near who would be interested in jamming together. I would like to escape from my closeted playing by myself to broaden my musical horizons.I have limited experience of playing with others and have never performed in public. I also play a little fiddle and have been teaching myself the whistle.

Hi Ray,

You might consider having a look at the stickies at the top of the forum, esp useful links. Also if you do a search for what you're looking for you'll find some other threads of people trying to meet up and have sessions!

Good luck,
Jess

Ray Noble

Thanks Jess. I'll do that

Hi Rusty,
Thanks for the interest. I haven't found any fellow musicians yet. I had a look at the posts and 'stickies' but couldn't find anything local. Unfortunately I don't know many people. I have hoped to get in on the sessions in Knock pubs which seem to occur about every 6 months but it seems a little clique. They are only advertised by word of mouth. I have left my contact details with the woman that runs them but she never got back to me when they had the last one which I discovered later. I will have a look in at a Wed night session at Shazy Mac's in Kilkelly I have recently heard about. It's a pity it's not exactly local.
I am only a recent beginner at the fiddle unfortunately.I can play the Kerry Polka(can't everyone) without the music and a few other tunes like Boys of Blue hill while reading the music. My main instrument is the guitar.
