This almost famous Irish Australian band are looking for a fiddle or whistle player to augment the current line-up which consists of bass bodhran, tenor bodhran soprano bodhran and DAGDAD guitar.
Only one instrument will be selected as we find that any more than one melody player seems to muddy up the sound and the accurate timing provided by the engine room.
This great opportunity has only appeared due to the unfortunate mental illness of the last tune player so be quick! (not just in the easy bits of a tune)
I play a mean duck-call....Sounds especially good in John Ryan's Polka. I think I can make it work in your (our, if you will have me) little band. Will the expense of my move be covered?
I was in a session the other night sitting among three bodhrans, one on my left, two on my right . I started this submission to put in words the sensation of it. Words, however, escape me.
Are you going to duck my call over the duck call or the expenses? If it is the call, ask anyone here in my area and they will tell you that I can get down (under?) on a wooden salad set instead.
I should in all fairness keep the position open for a day or three to thoroughly consider all applications.
In regard to removal expenses, if you play one bum note you will be removed Howzat?
Damn, it's you again da... You aren't still banging that stick with the boot at the base and the 500 bottle caps on top are yuh? Ma is going to be givin' off steam over this one... At least this time you've chosen mcnowall instead of your other handle 'God1'...

Re: Spudgrubbers need tune player
me, me, choose me, choose me. I even could buy a shakey egg to augment the drum solos. Can you play 'Over the hill and far away' by the Goatskinners?

You haven't made drums until you've made a Lambeg...

Re: Spudgrubbers need tune player
I thought a lambeg was a Sunday roast

Re: Spudgrubbers need tune player
But seriously, I didn't know they laid eggs.

Re: Spudgrubbers need tune player
They do in Australia, just like duckbills and kangaroos.

Re: Spudgrubbers need tune player
Do kangaroos lay eggs? That's amazing!

~ Made a lamb beg...
"Please, don't cut off my leg and roast it, I need it to frolic about!"
"Please, don't skin me Mr. bodhran man, lambskin makes for a lousy drum skin."
