Never saw so many zimmer frames at a session before. Crikey! What is with all the tantrums from old gezers (with seriously bad hair pieces). Get over yourself. F# minor all the way baby! I thought one of these guys was going to explode.
Don't go to a session and be slagging people off at their regular session. If you can't keep up with the pace then get a vodka red bull into yer!
By the way - if all you want is some food (we all saw you steal the chicken and stuff it in your box) I can give you a number for meals on wheels.
Too true Poxie -that is the second session where I have seen the same guy living it large. Coming into a session and complaining like a baby is just bad form. Some people can be so plastic
I wonder who you guys could be talking about? Hmmm - i am racking my brain but cant figure it out. And you say he/she slagged your session and the musicians and then came back? Nope - still haven't got it :-|
And just a word of warning...I know you guys thought it was bad when I accidently ripped the sleeves off Gerry's jacket at the Cobden...but if I ever see that rude (chicken stealing) man slag off my mates at a session I'll rip his bloddy arms off.
What is with the attitude. We go out for a tune and a laugh. It is just not fun when your choking out the next tune....or was that a chicken bone...
Are you talking about vegetarian food or slow tunes repeated....either way there was a load of vegetables involved. bb....I know you would have a heart attack to see that many comb-overs in the same pub!
Tom...the greatest publican in the world. Next time though, can you send those gezers out on the street for a bit of Slough omlete.
And by the way Tadosorearse, you'll be sorted for next week ... half-term ... all the 10 year olds will be chasing after ya Boss ! You know what they say, plenty more eggs in Slough ! Try the pulling shirt next time ...
Legs - it is a shame chicken-man was not on the Picci line last night from Waxy's. Not a plastic paddy in sight. Steve made 2 pence. If that is not the pure drop than I don't know what is....
Flamin Nora !!! Don't be telling him we were playing on the tube ... People his age have a free pass, there'll be no gettin a seat if he finds out there's tunes on the train ....
Wait ....
Send him on the Circle line ..... That slow enough for ya
Hey I heard the Victoria line is off on the weekends...lets all play tunes in Brixton.
And to the total eejit who was telling Sam to look after his health...wake up man it is a session! Big words about not smoking when he was shovelling the chicken in! Think of the cholestrol. Moment on the lips....get that whistle out of there....
There were more wings in that session than there were on the plate by the time we played the Galway Rambler again ....
.... and again
aaaaanddd again
for the 5th time !!!
And Legs ... in their defence, the only reason they couldn't hack the pace wox coz theire hands were all greasy n stuff ! You ever tried playin the flute with half a breast stuffed in yer gob !
Oops sorry I meant to type Poxie before but my fingers were moving so fast - unlike some of the tunes....
BTW- I was totally irritated when I saw someone making a stirring action when you were cranking out some fierce tunage there tonight....as if you were playing fast....my holyoakes omnibus...but now I realise that he was trying to give Tom sign language to crank up a Slough omlete to go with all the wings...
Are you serious? did he really make a cranking movement with his arms to imply you guys were playing too fast?! What a twit! - Hey Mr M - you know who you are, why dont you find yourself a new session and leave all these lovely - and may I add mighty, mighty players alone. They are way out of your league.
Sorry Poxie...I am really starting to slow down now. Like a couple of lads out tonight I am past it now! will see you tomor.# Time to retire! (take a hint Mr mmmmmm)
No idea what this was all about but I think I would like to have been a fly on the wall at that session except that I might have been eaten by the starving PoxieBoxie.
bb..totally agree. But to be truthful it did seem like anytime we were having a laugh we were given the death stare....even though it was bloody hard to have the time for a laugh cause the sets were rolling out faster than a chicken dinner with redbull....
Poxie have had anything to eat yet? hope you are not making up for yer missed chicken dinner over brekkie?? Slow down would u...
thats all well and good poxie..but I saw yer there last night...fading away...playing like a monster and where was the love man? hey next time we hear that those guys are out lets go dog-nap Pepsi from the Anchor
Man having a full on day dealing with the ping pong saga...
This doesn't sound like a slow session in London at all - it sounds very much like Slough. All the wide-boys who come up from the smoke should realise how rude it is not to stop playing and let the pensioners at the chicken - Christ knows they didn't die in two World Wars to be treated in such a shoddy manner! Mr. Boxie unfortunately sums up the prevailing ethos when these drug-sniffing hoodies come in happy-slapping and shanking the old guys - "F# minor all the way baby!"
F# minor indeed! If God had meant us to play in such a dreadful key he'd have given us a smidgen of musical ability!
Speaking as an older person, if I behave like a jerk I expect to have to answer for it. It's patronising to treat us differently. And I'll try it in London or anywhere else I feel like. The guy they're talking about has form for going into other people's sessions and slagging them off, in person and online. As they say, he can always start his own.
All things said & done there were great tunes had from one side of the house anyway!!
No-one drank Tom's pink shots, feel asleep on the table or got pushed around in a shopping trolley though!
Well said there Orson. There was a similar situation with the session in the Ben Nevis in Glasgow when some folk didn't like the full on sessions there and slagged it mercilessly online. What is it with some people who think the whole world should play music to their taste otherwise they're doing it wrong? A session is and should be what the regulars want it to be.
Hey Ottery - not feeling the love with the hoodies. Just because someone wants to trun up looking like a November wasp, or buzz lightyear, or watever......lets stop the tunage police and fashion police goin to sessions....and let me just say that while the hoodie is on the bingo wings are safely covered up!
I thought Buffalo Wings, not Bingo Wings, were the root of the problem(?)
I may be sagging a bit but I'm old enough that anyone who didn't know better might mistakenly believe that I could have kept up with you lot once upon a time ....
Whenever I see the term "Buffalo Wings", I want to ask how can the buffalo fly without any wings?
Speaking of bad comb-overs and badly-fitting hairpieces.....many years ago I remember watching a certain talk show when Dr. Joyce Brothers was one of the guests (the other two guests were Don Rickles and the late Leo Durocher). Since the other two guests were bald-headed men, the host of the show asked Dr. Brothers whether or not women were attracted to men who were bald. Dr. Brothers replied that women were more attracted to men who didn't try to be vain and hide their baldness with bad comb-overs and/or badly-fitting hairpieces. Durocher, who made no effort to hide his baldness, liked that answer. However, Rickles, who tried to cover his baldness with a comb-over, didn't like that answer.
And, last but not least, in the question of which came first, the chicken or the egg......according to standard theories of evolution, reptiles appeared on this planet first before mammals such as chickens and reptiles lay eggs.
the session last night was mighty regardless of the rudness and sheer boldness of one musician...i mean really...why make the effort to treck down and be obviously rude!....theres no need...he maybe as some have said a 'pensioner' or 'comb over'....but his behaviour that he has illustrated on this website and last night is something i expect from a 3 year old!....
So, this is all about one session, not even in London, and some senior person who is old enough to know better but acted like pain in the hole because tunes were played too fast or in wierd keys and he et more chicken than he should have.
Why the fvck am I reading this or even worse why the fvck am I posting onto this pile of sh!te?
Maybe it's because it's fun(ny), Danny, like the playing of the lads that started this thread!
Look at some of the alternatives:
'Hobbyists vs Trad Musicians'
'For Sale: Michael Burke Low D whistle'
'Where Do Mandolins Fit In?'
And the possibly terminal:
'Speeding up MIDI on Concertina.net'
OK lads, end of the discussion - we just wanded to make a point - and starting to get a bit nasty, Nobody's ageist ... grew up playing with the old boyos in Ireland and have great respect for anybody who plays. Just the bitchiness last night that fecked us all off... right Legs?
Hey Poxie sitting beside me and we both think that the pink shots taste better than the green ones....
promise not to be ageist...actually not that we ever were. Love and respect for people(any age) with the good tune karma....sorry if you took offense...we thought it was soooo funny at 4am this morning...was NOT funny when we had to get up for work at 6am! apparently O'Grady is to blame says Poxie. c u next week for winner winner chicken dinner!
Now I know all about Pegasus, but I ain't ever seen a buffalo with wings, not even on a Greek vase.
Of course, they ain't buffalo wings, but Buffalo wings. We did stop off in Buffalo on one of our trips over, but didn't eat the wings.
You'ld get more meat on a buffalo thigh anyway.
Otherwise, what a bunch of craic this posting was. What WERE you guys on ?
PS the cure for male baldness is to grow hair somewhere else on the face - Matt Molloy looks fine the way he does it for example - so long as some facial skin is covered you still look human.
er...Legs....tell poxieboxie and il tell him myself that he started this thread...not me!...my fault indeed, i think not!.....ha!...On behalf of legs, poxiebox and myself..we love the older generation and frequently play with them,afterall tradition is passed down like tunes....we just found the rudness of a certain individual astonishing and quite humourous...so please, no offence be taken...
2 irishmen got barred for nothing for playing irsh music this sort of thing does no good for sessions in general in tullamore all ireland fleadh ceoil 2008 people were asked to show respect for musicians this landlord shows no respect for irish musicians its not the first time that this happened a famous accordian player from ireland was also barred the pub in slough is like a funeral parlour they would not get a medal for comedian of the year the pub is in slough the herscal arms inslough
i have been playing irish traditional music for 40 years i have never witnessed anything like this in a lifetime of playing the landlord shook hands with me and then barred me for playing then he barred another irisman flute player the session was not meant for this nonesense sessions in ireland are ahappy occasion everybody plays the last thing they are going to do is barr you from playing i rest my case for the jury
