Re: If normal fiddle playing gets too boring...

hahaha that's wonderful. She keeps good time too! Can't see it taking off at a session though, there'd be havoc when it's your turn to get a round in.

Do you think this can be managed with uilleann pipes? Or one of those piano boxes the size of a VW Beetle?

Sure and we have one of them in the session every week! But he cant keep the rhythm so well after a few pints, keeps falling off ! I mean he's about 50, stout farmer, you'd wonder where he got the idea from! LOL

I always wondered what Llig looked like ;-)

I'm definitely trying that with the harp - once I find a pogo stick!

I can just picture all the bands on the 12th, 'marching' sorry bouncing along on those things ................. especially useful for the Lambeg Drummers, perhaps! :-D

Can't wait to see these catching on with the Morris Men, too! ;-)

Bloody brilliant! I want a followup with white noise and bicycle accompaniment.

I particularly enjoyed her blissful disregard for the effect of a pogo stick on wood floors. But seriously, that was nice. Thank you for posting.

Re: If normal fiddle playing gets too boring...

I'm grinning from ear to ear, that was hilarious!

Was it better than bodhran accompaniment? (ho ho ho...) ;-)

TRy it with a flute, and your teeth would be all over the floor, brilliant stuff....

Re: If normal fiddle playing gets too boring...

Must try the pogo stick ...maybe it will improve my playing

Re: If normal fiddle playing gets too boring...

Must be my strange sense of humour, but I kept watching in the hope that she'd go through the floorboards.

I do recall seeing a man on TV dancing the fling while accompanying himself on the highland pipes. He wasn't doing either of them very well but I've always remembered him. Now I'll always remember this wee lass. Brilliant.

Apparently they commute to work like this in Manchester.
Oh, and also on unicycles (true).

It's all a bit worrying...

Re: If normal fiddle playing gets too boring...

Wonder if she has applied to do the folkworks degree yet?

# Posted on March 15th 2009 by bazouki dave

Re: If normal fiddle playing gets too boring...

To really make it, tho', she should team up with another winsome kid. 'Duelling Pogosticks'- now that really would be something...
