Just wondering who here all likes Irish Trad? I cannot tell you how obsessed I have become with it over the years, especially after my move to the states (for some odd, odd reason).
Aaannnddd... Do you play?
I play the penny whistle and the bodhrán, both mediocrely... And I sing a bit.
Just interested. biggrin

Eh I play the tin whistle, well I used ta, till like 6th class which was like, 5 years ago. I can stil play it thoughm not as good as I used ta, I was class at it, we all were, we were made play in in primary school like every week. The Spanish Lady I think that was what the song was called, oh it was so class. I still remeber the song of it, there were a load more aswell. What a laugh though. I kinda play the Bodhrán aswell, well when I say play I mean bang it a couple of times along with hundreds of other people at a match. Then shouting something after it like Munster or something, it depends on what match I'm at. It's all good though.

Im currently Learning the Tin Whistle and I want to pick up the Irish Flute but I dont have anywhere near enough money to pick one up. Im ok at the whistle I just need more practice ^_^. But I love Traditional its incredibly relaxing plus its part of my families history.

I can play the flute. Once upon a time I could play the recorder, but I'm not sure if I still can...somewhere I have a bamboo, 4 holed flute thing that I can sorta toot out random notes on...I know the fingerings etc for the Irish Jig on the mandolin, but I don't think I'll ever get it anywhere near up to speed...I can pluck out some tunes on my tiny child's version of a plucked dulcemer, and I own a guitar...
...but I'm probably best at singing by a long shot...even if the words arn't in english...I'm pretty good at mimicking pronunciations of words once I've heard them a few times, so I can sing songs and not have any clue what I'm saying!
by the way, PirateEire, I love the pictures in your sig about A Modest Proposal!

I can play a few tunes on the tin whistle and I've been teaching myself the bodhrán for about a month. I'm not very good, if any of you want to see me play, here's a video of me accompanying a bunch of tunes called Cooley's Set. Bear in mind that the bodhrán I was using was crap and made far too harsh a noise sweatdrop
