Born in Belfast, moved to London 5 years ago. I've been playing bodhran for 21 years, piano accordion for 12. Only been posting here for a few weeks but it's great!
welcome! Born and Raised in Oklahoma, been playing 28 years, the last 18 of which is traditional old time and ITM. http://www.geocities.com/flyinfiddler
Born in New Zealand, lived in glasgow for last 2 years, been playing the fiddle for 14 years (wow didn't know it was so long - dosn't time fly when your havin' fun!) and play a few other instruments too.
(would be great to catch up with any other scottish sessioners if they are ever in glasgow!)
jamie - scottish? *ugh*, hahahahah - just kidding. Play the fiddle, never played any other kind of music than trad Irish & I'm still not bored. Hey lads - I booked my ticket to oz! sunshine here I come!
I was born in Mississippi and live in Nashville now . . . prime location for fiddle playing! I have played for 21 years, originally classical and made the switch to fiddle 3 years ago . . . best decision of my life! I did not know it was supposed to be FUN to play! =)
My name is Jill. Aussie, but been around a bit. I've been playing ITM for about ten years all up. Geeking it at the moment, though unfortunately. Jamie, pack heaps of sunscreen and remember to slip-slop-slap. I've seen a few Irish lobsters .... Swedish lobsters ... English lobsters ... German lobsters down under. Its cool to wear a hat. Sunstroke is no fun (but at the moment here its cold enough to snow).
Cheers

I started playing fiddle, for the second time in my life, in January.
Im 17 and ive been fiddling for bout 8 years, the best way to find out bout peops is to look at the personal profiles. JAMIE, i live in edinburgh but im moving to Glasgow after the summer to study trad music at rsamd so maybe c you around in some sessions.
Have to definately catch up wackadack! send me an email and i'll get in touch (maybe when i'm in edinburgh next?)
Speaking of sun (or lack thereof) had my first experience with midges at the weekend - aaaaaarrrrgggh. We were playing at the arran festival, i was supposed to take the ferry back in the afternoon (as i had work on monday!) ended up sitting outside on the grass playing tunes and drinking beer until well after the ferry left, and well on into the night, getting bitten by midges in the process, now i have bite marks all over me and can't stop scratching!!! Still, was worth it for the tunes!, Ended up missing work monday, but they'll get over it (already have infact, they just thought i had a hangover, when in actual fact i only got the hangover after i realised i wasn't going to work, so thats ok really! gotta love that!!
I'm from Montreal, I was born here almost 18 years ago and I still live here. I've been playing tin whistle for a few years. My main instrument is clarinet, but I also play whistle, piano, organ, lyre, ocarina, and recorder. I collect sheet music. I'm in a college music program.
