    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;Just curious... What gigs are folks doing on St. Patrick's Day? If you've been wanting to do a shameless plug, but have been too full of shame to post one, now's your chance... No shame is involved because this plug was solicited... 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I'm sure you're all saying to yourself, "Wow, self, a solicited plug! We've never been asked for one of those before so I don't know how we should respond... Any suggestions, Cid?"
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Why, yes, and I'm glad you asked! As an example, I would offer something like this:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"Hi, I'm Cid of Jingly Bits and this St. Patrick's Day, Monday, March 17th, Jingly Bits will be giving our Farewell To California performance! Yes, at O'Flaherty's Irish Pub in downtown San Jose from 6 until at least 8 pm, we'll be giving it our all for the last time in California as we're "semi-retiring" and relocating back east. We hope to continue with our music there and maybe in a few years, you'll be able to catch us on the West Coast leg of our Unretirement Tour, but for now, this is it! We'd be delighted and honored if you could come on down, have an ale and a song or two and see us off!"
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;See? The plug's not that shameful when someone's asking for it... So... 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;What shows am I missing because of doing my own?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Cheers!
&lt;br/&gt;cid&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Action in the Low Countries------ The School of the Renaissance Soldier. April 4-6th
&lt;br/&gt;At Gibson Ranch State Park in Sacramento CA
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This event last year had a battle contingent of 141 persons.....  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;We are expecting this number to double this year.......
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;At What event can you experience a Renaissance style Battle with over 200 soldier wielding pike----- holding off 30 cavalry---  Black powder matchlocks blazing and Cannons booming?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This event is becoming the ultimate destination as Re-enactment Soldiers from all over the Nation are coming to attend and participate in this annual spectacular event.......
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Persons who consider themselves Military oriented should heavily consider attending this Workshop in order to knock the dust off their boots and prepare for the up coming season....
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;With a literal City of period pavilions and tents, sutlers, cooks, vendors, musicians--- This event is quickly becoming the best opportunity for the Renaissance Faire Society (in general) to participate in a great educational and yet highly entertaining event.
&lt;br/&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;If you, or someone you know is interested in performing, please contact me. Obviously, the them is Scottish Renaissance. All of our music is acoustic and we have three or four "collection" areas to provide a more intimate interaction with your audience.

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Triskela -- a vibrant neo-Celtic harp trio -- weaves a sophisticated tapestry of melodic intricacies with their original works and fresh interpetations of traditional Irish and Scottish folk music. From lively dance tunes, to hearfelt ballads and stirring airs.  Triskela members
&lt;br/&gt;Diana Stork, Shawna Spiteri and Portia Diwa will take you on a musical trip through the pastoral British Isles and beyond. The stirring beauty of the harp is complimented by sweet, lyrical vocals, flute, whistle and traditional Irish drum along with guest musicians Peter Kasin on fiddle, Teed Rockwell on percussion, and dancer Eileen Danz for this special Pacifica Performances debut! 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;*******************************************
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;ABOUT THE TRIO:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Triskela has been performing together since 1997 playing an eclectic mix of traditional Celtic music, as well as Medieval, Renaissance, Latin and original works. Like the ancient, three-branched symbol the group is named after (the triskele), members Portia Diwa, Shawna Spiteri and Diana Stork find inspiration in performing together and presenting their unique arrangements of traditional and contemporary music to audiences at such venues as Grace Cathedral and Yerba Buena Gardens in San Francisco, and the Festival of Harps in Rohnert Park.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Dram, Swedish Harp &amp;amp; woodwind duo: 6-7pm
&lt;br/&gt;Triskela Celtic Harp Trio: 7-7:30
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Since the beginning, Dram has gained international reputation as guardians and renewers of the rich treasure trove of Swedish traditional music. Musicians Erik Ask-Upmark and Anna Rynefors are both "riksspelmaen" ("Official Master Musicians of the Realm") and combine ancient instruments to create new sophisticated sounds centered around the traditional Celtic Harp and the unique Swedish woodwind instrument, "Nyckelharpa". Swedish and medieval bagpipes provide the endless drone -- or dram -- from which the group gets its name. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Triskela Celtic Harp Trio -- Diana Stork, Portia Diwa &amp;amp; Shawna Spiteri (harp &amp;amp; vocals) -- play stunning original compositions, fresh arrangements of traditional Irish and Scottish tunes, plus music from around the world. They have been featured at the prestigious Festival of Harp Concert Series, the Bing Music Series at Stanford, SF City Hall and Yerba Buena Gardens. Their new CD -- "Voice of Tara" -- has been heard on the nationally syndicated radio show "Echoes".
&lt;br/&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;To quote the band's bio: 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The power and emotion of the Great Highland Bagpipe 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Tribal drums, fierce and joyous 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The mystical rhythms of the Australian didgeridoo and 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The ancient call of the Bronze-Age Irish Horn

&lt;br/&gt;Wicked Tinkers are a Celtic Tribal Sound Explosion!

&lt;br/&gt;For those who ~quite reasonably~ do not use myspace, you can also download the tune at my own website jayatwood.com/music.html
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;We'd love your feedback. And if you *really* like it, and wish to support the musicians, please check out our web page www.wickedtinkers.com or download more tracks at iTunes!

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;I make up little songs for my son and I *love* folk music, especially celtic folk music (yes, I sing my son 200 year old songs and then he goes to school and teaches the other kids).
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;For some reason, I really want to learn the banjo, but is that a "celtic" instrument?  I mean, how well to celtic tunes play on it.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Also, I have no idea how to play a banjo, so any tips are helpful

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Didn't get to do anything on the actual day itself, but on the night before - March 16th - I went and saw The Black Brothers (-Michael, Martin &amp;amp; Shay-) at The Freight &amp;amp; Salvage in Berkeley. ( http://thefreight.org/2006/0603-march/info_060316.html  ) It was a terrific show (-as always-), with much sing-a-long and some Irish Dancers. (4 of the dancers are their own little girls! ) Unfortunately, I can't recall the name of the group the other Irish Dancers were from. It was a blast. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;We were going to a friend's house for corned beef and cabbage tonight (3/17), but it had to be post-poned until Sunday. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;So, how did you folks celebrate? I especially want to know what you did music-wise.&lt;/div&gt;

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;Culann’s Hounds gave a great performance at the San Francisco Accordion Festival on June 4th. They played a great mix of traditional Irish music, an apparently Cajun tune (?) and even some Ramones with great Poguesian flair. The musicianship of all members was exemplary but the real stand-outs were Renee de la Prade on the two-row diatonic button accordion and Steve Gardner on fiddle. Mike Kelleher (guitar, vocals, pennywhistle) and Scott Marshall (bodhran) provided a solid foundation for the band’s soloists.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Here’s my Flickr photostream of the event:

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Check out the band’s site and see when they’re playing near you. While you’re there, you can get some merch or buy one of their CDs from CD Baby. Support this great band!

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Wud u like to market / promote ur music in India ? If yes, this is for you. 
&lt;br/&gt;We are MUSIKREED. A Music Company that's working on a plan to promote indie-artists and bands from all corners of the gloe to India. 
&lt;br/&gt;Basically we are open to any genre - which sounds good but is not commercial and yes, eclectic - becoz Indian music lovers are opening to new sounds. 
&lt;br/&gt;We'll test market in Clubs &amp;amp; then sell to a captive database of music afficianados in major Indian metros. We are looking at direct sales for CDs (min. 1000 pieces) through a growing and well-knit network of listeners and music lovers. 
&lt;br/&gt;If ud like to promote ur music to the big Indian market, pls reply to me with details. 
&lt;br/&gt;U can send me details, website etc on parvezagm23@yahoo.co.in or boundbysoundindia@yahoo.co.in
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;P.S: We also plan a series of gigs at select clubs/pubs/5 star hotels later - let me know if you wud like to participate. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Cheers

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;In an effort to get as many people involved and in-the-know as I can I am sending out this info. for the second annual NH Renaissance Faire before their calendars fill up. :)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This is a not-for-profit event founded/coordinated by me and filled with the talents of many wonderful volunteers. We raised $400 for the Blue Ocean Society; www.blueoceansociety.org last year and our charity that we're raising money for this year is the Baby John Fund; www.babyjohnfund.org
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Sponsors and advertisers are much needed to help get the faire off to a running start again this year. Please visit the website for sponsorship and ad info.; www.nhrenfaire.com/sponsor.html If anyone is interested in being involved in the faire as a volunteer staff person, entertainer or merchant please let me know.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;If you'd be so kind please spread the word about this event, since we're not-for-profit there is no budget for advertising... word of mouth really helps!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Thanks, in advance, for your time. The new website is at; www.nhrenfaire.com I look forward to hearing from you!

&lt;br/&gt;Browne Jenkyn performs traditional music of the British Isles, as well as more recent and original pieces written in the traditional style. Their repertoire consists of songs of adventure, love and betrayal, death and the other world; along with a vast array of instrumental numbers including jigs, reels, waltzes and marches. 
&lt;br/&gt;Their rustic, often dark sound is evocative of the woods and fields, festivals and beliefs found among the ancient peoples of the British Isles. BROWNE JENKYN weaves a colorful tapestry of folklore and music to stir the imagination.

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The NH Renaissance Faire &amp;amp; Samhain Celebration is gaining momentum but I am hoping to find a band or person to play some songs for the Samhain Ceili' slot if nothing else, (5pm-7pm on Sat. night, October 29th).
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This is a not for profit event with partial proceeds going to the Blue Ocean Society of Portsmouth, NH and the rest being put toward next year's faire. The event is the 29th and 30th of October, 2005, and will be in Kingston, NH, (only about an hour from Boston, MA or Manchester, NH and even less from the Portsmouth, NH area!)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;There are lots of things being lined up, from dragons and fairies and singing to unicorns, kids activities, masquerade, drumming, fire dancers/belly dancers, storytellers and lots more!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Please visit the website for details; www.gypsyroses.org/NHRF.html The event is also listed under the events category in most of the troupes I am posting this to.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;*Everyone is a volunteer this year*, (including me), but you will have a link from the website with a small bio. and pic if you like as well as mention in our brochure if you give me the info. I need to post it. As for merchants the space is very reasonably priced but work should be handcrafted by you preferably.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Please drop me a line ASAP if you'd like to volunteer or merchant. Thank you for your time, in advance, we hope to see you at the faire!

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;I just wrote a book called "Travels With Loreena McKennitt - My Life as a Friend”. According to one London journalist, "It's not only a must for every Loreena McKennitt fan but for anyone interested in the phenomenon of "Celebrity"”. The book is a behind-the-scenes look into the world of stardom and the consequences of fame. It is a gripping tale focusing on the relationship of two close friends and the impact on the friendship when one rockets to superstardom.
&lt;br/&gt;  
&lt;br/&gt;Many of you know Loreena through her music and her concert appearances. My book is about Loreena behind the footlights, about Loreena not only as a talented and famous musician but as a real human being.

&lt;br/&gt;will be teaching an “Intro to Celtic Percussion”
&lt;br/&gt;workshop on Saturday May 21st at the 13th Annual World
&lt;br/&gt;Rhythm Festival (http://www.swps.org/wrf/) in Seattle
&lt;br/&gt;Washington.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The Annual World Rhythm Festival is the largest free
&lt;br/&gt;percussion festival in the world. The 12th annual
&lt;br/&gt;festival, held in the Spring of 2003, featured more
&lt;br/&gt;than 80 artists presenting more than 50 participatory
&lt;br/&gt;teaching workshops and 20 performances highlighting
&lt;br/&gt;percussive arts from around the world. Offered
&lt;br/&gt;completely for free to the public, the three day
&lt;br/&gt;festival is presented by the Seattle World Percussion
&lt;br/&gt;Society, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. The
&lt;br/&gt;Festival offers something to all age groups, all
&lt;br/&gt;cultures and all rhythmic traditions. All are welcome
&lt;br/&gt;to come and learn, grow and play as one.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;My full schedule includes a 30 minute “introduction”
&lt;br/&gt;performance at 12noon on Saturday, followed by a 75
&lt;br/&gt;minute “Intro to Celtic Percussion” worshop which will
&lt;br/&gt;feature info on history, regional &amp;amp; international
&lt;br/&gt;playing techniques, construction styles, and Q&amp;amp;A for
&lt;br/&gt;Bodhran, Bones &amp;amp; Spoons (I usually include photos and
&lt;br/&gt;mention of the Lambeg but I haven’t got one to play,
&lt;br/&gt;so….
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Then on Sunday I’ll present a 75 minute “Intro to
&lt;br/&gt;Handheld Double Concussion Plaques &amp;amp; Ladels – (Bones,
&lt;br/&gt;Spoons &amp;amp; Beyond)”workshop. The workshop will feature
&lt;br/&gt;in depth discussion of the world history, usues, and
&lt;br/&gt;playing styles for bones, spoons, knives, forks,
&lt;br/&gt;clave, etc…

&lt;br/&gt;I work for a company that is throwing a St. Patrick ’s Day party for their employees. I ’m looking for some potential entertainment that is in the theme. Since this is a typical corporate affair, it will need to be clean and tasteful. Nothing too mind shattering, of course. Irish bands, dancers, leprechauns, you know, standard stereotypical fare. Anyone have any ideas or experience doing something like this? If so, shoot me a message.

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;For info on slow play sessions see: http://www.slowplayers.org
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Basically they are sessions (that can even be held at a private residence) where the tunes are played half speed (or thereabouts) to help beginner to intermediate musicians learn to play better and also for more advanced musicians to learn more tunes in a helpful setting.  All skill levels are welcome though.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I could host if need be.  Anyone interested?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;There used to be one in the SJ area, but I contacted the group organizer and was told they weren't really meeting anymore...&lt;/div&gt;

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt; Hey you all! Whats shaking?
&lt;br/&gt;Hey Oct. 21 at the Bitter End (1981 W. Burnside), starting 8pm, no cover charge. Their Vaudevillian humor &amp;amp; melodic/harmonic intensity zig-zags through time from Victornian sea chanties to P-funkish grooves with skillful, yet spacious arrangements. I'm talking about non-other than that band beyond bands, "FOLKRUM". Come see them. I'll be there.
&lt;br/&gt;Come join their Tribe &amp;amp; watch them grow. folkrum.tribe.net&lt;/div&gt;

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;If you are a beginning musician and/or new to playing Irish, Scottish and British folk music, you might want to check out a "Slow Players Session".  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;These sessions play all the music (jigs, reels, airs, etc.) at half speed, and gradually play tunes faster as everyone becomes familiar with the tune.   A great way to practice your instrument or just learn new tunes.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;To see if there's one near you, or to find out how to start your own visit:

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;Welcome all,
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;A place for musicians interested in Traditional (or "roots") Irish, Scottish and British folk music to meet, exchange ideas and tunes, talk about instruments or organize a session at a local pub. Make music!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Whether you're a beginning musician, a decent musician new to Irish/Celtic music or an experienced sessioner...you're in the right place.                                                                 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Note: I know there's a similar tribe on here already.  However, I didn't find it at first since I was searching for "Irish Music".  No hits came up.  So, I thought I make one that would come up for a variety of searches.&lt;/div&gt;
