Ancient Music of Ireland - great link.Mni tks (Tho I am not sure how good a likeness is the drawing of you literally flying/dancing out of the hairdressers with a fresh perm (and with wings, and bells on your waist) presumably with O'Carolan on the harp to your left, he having returned from a well-paid weekend gig in Scotland). Your point about the speedy reel type of tune's origin makes one wonder whether some were rally Scottish reels, brought across the water during various 'recent' people movements, and so not truly ancient-traditional Irish toons. Just as I suppose the Vikings brought music across the same latitude during their weekend package tours by longboat. Someone I am in contact with on the other side (offspring of Seán Uí Néill, Ard Rí na h'Éireann) declares 'the deep, ancient tunes stand above these "modern traditional" ones, tho there is no harm in the latter at all, at all, at all'.

If you use video downloader (see Mozilla) you can pause to get the score and do a print screen for each page.....probably. Cant do owt about the intro but the ads obviously support the transcriber/

nice bass

Well what about this "vintage" one (a steal at only 41 quid so far) from, appropriately, "Eyewash" (or shd that be spit in your eye?) and his/her other items include a bowler hat, just to get that full music hall, Percy Honri effect http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VINTAGE-ACCORDION-SCHOLER-SQUEEZE-BOX-HARD-CASE-GOOD-CONDITION-/270892119213?_trksid=p4340.m1374&_trkparms=algo%3DPI.WATCH%26its%3DC%252BS%26itu%3DUCC%26otn%3D5%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D5755708153199246919

Some videos,showing either and both ends' button action to illustrate examples would be really good. :)

You're ahead of me again. I mean; look at the size of this... and, a few sentences in, we discover it is made out of a cactus!! Is this rain instrument how you got inspiration for yr delightful "Stream to river flows" ** **Although I think the music is no longer here: http://www.concertina.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=10899&hl=%20stream%20%20to%20%20river&st=0

It's nice to see how polite and discerning we are on these isssues....(ITM, not Al's wig!! ooops, should have kept that secret!) compared with here: http://www.thesession.org/discussions/display/18437

No,don;t buy it.... there are really big holes in two of the bellows -- if you enlarge and look closely. It would cost you a fortune even with these people specialised in Fen music and Anglos. http://www.anglianhome.co.uk/windows/index.aspx?from=0348&utm_source=msn&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=msn_windows&kw=double+glazing+sheffield+Broad&tmcampid=7&tmad=c

Thank goodness for that explanation! And all these years I was thinking your pursed, ruby red lips had been botoxed; but I was too polite to ask. :rolleyes: It's the mascara that I've always wondered about. yeah - you should have seen it running when he got caught in the storm at Bradfield == coz he refused to put his tent under a tree, having been almost zapped by lightning on an earlier occasion........

Much fun! I assume that was in G, as they have got round the "ITM notes on the table" issue by cleverly writing on the beer glasses........

Thank goodness for that explanation! And all these years I was thinking your pursed, ruby red lips had been botoxed; but I was too polite to ask. :rolleyes: Now I hope we can look forward to some trumpet voluntaries on your squeezebox. Dare I suggest for starters some of the favourites by that French trumpeter who must have learnt trad toons from "down t'pit" when he was a young coalminer? For those unfamiliar with his output, u will notice he mainly plays on a tiddly little (baroque) trumpet but that does not stop him jazzing. Interestingly, the opening embedded advert on this utube is for: Embouchure Exerciser - More Endurance, Power, Range Guaranteed Results! I think the composer must have been a calypso fancier with a name like De Tele-mann (banana), so you can give the melody some of your welly (tho not at foot-stomping-banned-sessions............ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQm-P2muMEc&feature=player_embedded or something in the more traditional, slower, memorised and dot-free, ITM style http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=maurice+andre+baroque+youtube&docid=1440331596234&mid=0F72E3445BE553DA36F50F72E3445BE553DA36F5&FORM=LKVR10 And appropriately a March, à la Day, but from the Prince of Denmark There are quite a few here** for DirGe too methinks especially The reduced dots are here too for Brandenburg Concert 2, 3rd movement (Solo Bb Trumpet score scroll) Or with Dizzy Gillespie http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14cQO9hq8mQ ** http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=maurice+andre&oq=maurice+andre&aq=f&aqi=g10&aql=&gs_sm=e&gs_upl=800l2713l0l4129l11l5l0l0l0l0l375l1142l0.3.1.1l5l0

There is a musico-technical term for this known as bellowsin-fla-halation.

* In fairness, Ireland and England haven't shared the same currency since I was a child. Even before the Euro, the Irish pound and BPS had an exchange rate. re: VAT. Depends on whether the Irish customer is also VAT registered. M Lucy * Before my time......... tho I do have a photo somewhere of an old Bank of Ireland (in stone across the top) building which had been shut and turned into a retail outlet and the new owners sign in the window said -Betting shop" It was in August 1979 ** VAT - of course, which is why I referred to his high prices and turnover............

BTW with the pound getting more dollars at the moment. it could be more interesting. How much did the school cost (without travel costs) incl. food and bed? please send me a pm asking me about money/etc. Just a ballpark figure will do; others here will be interested to know too. Let's say: the cost for intermediate level with bed and board?

But with his such regular high prices one might need to know if he is VAT registered as it is at 20 per cent for the UK and apparently 21 per cent for Eire.

the biggest thing in irish sessions is that you have to know your music by memory. if you know only one set, or one tune, we are very welcoming. if you pretend to know sets by pulling out sheet music, some people might not be very welcoming. the way that most of us have become "fully fledged players" is by sitting quietly in the circle at our sessions week after week, until our one set naturally blossoms into a whole repertoire through immersion. you have to practice at home, yes, but most of the tunes that i play at sessions are tunes i learned in sessions and never studied at home. all the tunes i work on at home (for hours every day) are tunes that no one else seems to know You are fortunate to have hours a day to practise. Following your encouragement to others to sign up for Noel Hill Irish Music Schools, (which some this side of the pond have said they might be interested in), does he send out the scores a long time before the event so that people have time to learn them in advance? Presumably you have to play by ear/memory without score during the workshops/sessions? http://www.concertina.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=11612 BTW with the pound getting more dollars at the moment. it could be more interesting.

Bonne année à toi, mon pote! Tell me, would you object if I said your pipes sounded cheerful in a particular performance? Or melancholy? There's more than enough dull literalness in today's speech and writing. I salute any compiler of govt style manuals game to show the odd flash of unbureaucratic colour. Cheers Steve here's one that caught by the fact checkers proofing an encyclopaedia about 25 years ago Valium: a medicine regularly prescribed by doctors to cut short a consultation.

Quite!

yes! Come on Randy, we can't afford to pay for Frasier's dad to head across from McGinty's in Seattle

Captivating - there are film soundtracks resonating out of this from Russia, France, Italy... May be a bit out of fashion for some but theme music for Ingrid B., Audrey Hepburn, Jean-Louis Trintignant.....
