My Burkes all came from Eire, so there is (or used to be) a reseller...i'll fish out details if you need them.

Thanks, Wanderer. We have all sorts of combos in the supermarkets here...with tomato and olive, olive, jalapeno peppers, lemon and coriander, caramelised onion, moroccan, etc etc. Quite an industry...But homemade's still best

Now we are a two-camp household on "the word"...first the HuH...Muss group and then the HUGH...Muss group. Which way do you swing...or which other way ?

Trisha...back after a "bit of a break"...cough Oct 07...

Hmm...been missing from here for a while. I've two (in the UK), drop me a PM if you're still looking...

So looking forward to seeing them in Co Kerry in a little over ten days

I have a McSpadden. The import charges were horrible. I will get to grips with the thing...one day. I'd wanted to have one since I heard one played in Aberdeen Folk Club in around 1984...

That's probably the best place for a Samick anyways... :P :lol: Yeah, I agree! :D Having a Samick is much better than being mandolin-less though. Don't knock a Samick.

Thanks Kenny..certainly workable from that. Isn't it infuriating when bands name things wrong.... :roll: .

No, fraid it isn't. The fragment above is the A1 part which is then repeated. Then it goes haywire - I'm hopeless with Slowdown software. Tune is definately played for Irish dancing in Brittany...I've also a bad MD recording from a Breton Irish session. Trouble is the French aren't very good with re...

Kenny, yes it's listed and linked, but it's not the same music. This is as close as I've got...a fragment on the web: X: T:Crossing the Shannon M:4/4 L:1/8 N:This is just a fragment. Anyone with the tune, please send it to me S:Ir-trad, George Fowler, 3/97 R:R H:NaConnerys, "Celtic Sessions&quo...

Hi..anyone got the dots for these as played on Na Connerys first album? Have tried the usual sources and the tunes listed aren't these.

Thanks

Aberdeen Uni campus...fond memories of student days. Sadly 25 was a while back too...

I recently saw Nickel Creek in concert, and they did a couple Celtic tunes, as well as mixed some Celtic flavoing into others....which, naturally, was incredible. Their arrangements of everything are simply awesome. DC Chris Thile is one of my son's heroes...at eight he's new to mandolin and loves ...

I've sent you a PM Steven..you'll need patience!
