I was at a session last week and I saw and heard four people playing skillful and unmistakably traditional sounding Trad but on slightly askew instruments.
They played gold plated lap steel, a 1950's Hoover vacuum cleaner, Vulcan arse flute and a stuffed parrot in a domed glass enclosure.
I was interested to see if Mr Evolve As Addict would be as unpleasant and evidently blow a gasket in that "So What?" way that he did regarding the rather less surreal but actual selection I mentioned previously.
Danke.
The music shines through better when people like you don't come along and start telling us how good it can sound. I couldn't give a flying f$%$ what you heard, when you heard it, or if you ever hear it again. All 4 of those instruments have been used by Irish musicians in the past. Paddy Peoples, Tommy Cooney, Steve Carty, John Peoples. WTF? means What the Fuk? And it's probably the best question to ask when a lunatic like krick comes on here with his superior, professing, mouthy sh*te. Merry Melodies.
Oh that's it, that one wins. No longer will I blame gas on the rare Floridian Barking Spider. From now on, folks will simply be playing their Vulcan Arse Flutes. Brilliant.
Krick, this thread is obviously a reaction to that utter knobhead evolve as addict.
I have no idea why he overreacted to your initial post on the other thread, but overreact he did, for sure. I have always found your posts well within the normal spectrum, opinionated, not heavily, but not any more than anyone else, but aren't we all? Isn't this why we give out on here?

Re: Nearly traditional?
I find it very hard to get the high octave on the Vulcan arse flute.
Its music Jim, but not as we know it!!.....

Re: Nearly traditional?
Surely you just have to blow a little harder?

Re: Nearly traditional?
Krick, your earlier post was bona fide, but this one's pillockry.
Salvador Dali died a long time ago - though what you describe sounds distinctly like a Surrealist happening.

Pillockry, Nicholas? What an ace in A9 word.
Did you think we wouldn't tummel to it?

Why am I being censored? There are far worse posts on this thread than my deleted one!

I utterly and unreservedly apologise for getting this thread mixed up with a similar one. Grovel. sh*t tastes good.

Except the arse-flute is actually a Romulan instrument.
