Do you play in an actual band or do you just play at sessions? If you play in a band, do you have a website for your band? With tunes we can listen to?

My old pub band: www.breech.net/paddys_pig/ ...I moved, but they still play occassionally.

    Ooh, Paddy's Pig. I actually heard some mp3's of them...

    I do both. No website as yet. I'll post when we get some of our tunes up.

      Hey! Christyn -- what's the sessiun scene like in the Bay Area these days? I used to play at the King's Head in Campbell, but there never seemed like there was too much going on -- here I can play 8 nights a week...but I miss San Francisco!

        There are sessions every sunday at O'Flaherty's in downtown San Jose from 5-8. Drinks are free if you're participating.

        I don't go often enough... I keep travelling.

            I used to do both when we lived in England. When we moved to Austin, I played in a band called Southwind. Since we moved to San Diego, I haven't done much...but I have an audition with the Celtic Ensemble on Saturday (I play fiddle and sing). Not much in the way of real sessions here in SD -- lots of downtown bars have Irish groups that masquerade as sessions, but they aren't open...

    I play both bands and sessions.

    Used to play in the now defunct celtic-gypsy-aussie-ren faire trio The Bringers got mp3's up at my website at: www.bodhranai.jackalpress.com

    Currently play in Woodland, an original celtic/folklore band in Oregon. We've got mp3's up at: www.woodlandmusic.net/pages20...sic.html

    I'm also working with a part time pick up band called The Bottle Alley Buskers, mainly doing trad stuff for fun and profit. We've just done a bit of recording, but it's not up anywhere just yet.

    Great Tribe goign here, glad I found it.
