Anybody heard of a local Irish music group called "Skelpin"? Are they any good? I found out about a concert they are having at Old Town Poway park on Aug 5th...
Skelpin is pretty far from what I consider traditional Irish music (Danu, Altan, Lunasa). They do use mostly traditional Irish tunes, but the resemblance ends...
Hi Eliene, Well, I went to the concert with my wife. It was a lot of fun, and very lively. GLad I went, but you were right, I'd say about 70% of their stuff...
I'm glad you enjoyed the Skelpin concert. Michael's at the Sod most weeks. I'm only there on rare occasions. I'm really allergic to cigarette smoke and...
Hi! I'm there hosting every Tuesday from 7-10 PM along with George Rubsamen, so please stop on by! The smoke situation that Elaine described is much less of a...
Hi Eliene, Thanks for the response. I concur on cigaret smoke. I tried the Field once and it was a lot of fun. Really popular and packed. I'll have to try out...
Hi Michael, Thanks for the response. I'm hoping to make it down there with my buddy on Sept 6th if he can make it (still waiting for him to confirm). Hope to...
Also, the Thornton's session is every Thursday from 7-10 PM, and either Elaine, I, or both of us are there hosting every week. Its a bit more low key than The...
Hi Michael, Thanks for the response. My friend and I are going to come down tomorrow to Thornton's. I checked the mapquest and found out Thornton is...
Hi Michael, My friend and I really enjoyed last night's session at Thornton's. Terrific music. I had my very first Irish Boxie for dinner there too. It was...
Hi Cliff, I'm guessing that was you on the right at the table in front? :-) No, everyone there were from other sessions. One of the class students, Bette Jo,...
Hi Michael, That be us. I was on your right, Kevin on my right. He is learning Irish harp. I recognized Betty Jo last night from her web site photo. Briefly...
Michael, I tried out Frank Quick's brass SINDT penny whistly last Friday (at SDCRS), and it was amazing. None of the upper register difficulties, no "airy"...
Michael, I just got confirmation back from John Sindt. I'm now on his waiting list. He said six months, which is what I heard is typical. I'm pretty jazzed. ...

Michael, Kevin and I are finally going to try out the session at Ouldson tomorrow (Feb 6, 2007) at 7PM. Are you going? We'll just be listening. Thanks, Cliff...
Last week at Thornton's I heard the session group play the song Cooley's, but I didn't recognize the other songs being played in that set. I am familiar with...
LOL! I have no idea what I played. Some players learn tunes in rigid sets, but it's probably more common for tunes to be strung together at the spur of the...
(I thought it was funny. Cliff) Thoughts from across the pond An email from Ireland to their brethren in the States...a point to ponder despite your political...
Hi, I stopped by Thornton's last Thursday (dec 11, 2008) and found no session. Pardon my ignorance, but is the Thursday night Thornton session closed, or just...
Hi San Diegans, I am down here now with the two little uns, probably until the 20th. I'm hoping to get to a few sessions, depends if I can get help watching...
