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 there.  The tunes are usually played VERY
fast, with a unique mix of Spanish flamenco guitar backup and driving
percussion.  Only Tim Foley plays in Irish traditional style - the
other melody players know the tunes but don't grok the style.

However, Tim Foley, Hector Maldonado, and David Maldonado are
excellent musicians, and they do put on a fun show.  There's usually
some fun Flamenco-based music that showcases David's guitar playing
along with the Irish tunes.  I saw Skelpin when they opened for Lunasa
and they certainly had their moments.  Just don't go expecting Irish
trad...

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 & am thinking about going. Sounds like
traditional Irish music.

Here's their web site. Concert info listed under their web site
under "gigs."  $15 per ticket.

HI Micheal,
Thanks for the reply.  I don't think I could keep up with the speed as I am an intermediate player.  But I do want to drag my buddy down there and expose him to the "real stuff."

Looking forward to seeing you soon.

Best regards,

Michael anchors at the Auld Sod so he's there most weeks.  I've only
been playing seisiuns sporadically lately because I've gotten very busy
with school.  We will be performing at the Field playing music for the
dance show Sunday December 18 and Sunday January 15 from 5:00 to 6:30. 
That's probably the best chance to catch us both.

Hi Elaine,
What is your and Micheal's monthly schedule of when you play at the
Ouldsod and the Field?   I'm trying to get my buddy talked into hitting
both places with me, and coordinate dates with him. Thanks.

Damn, it has sure been a while... I just realized today that it's been 12 months
since I last went out with a special lady, but I am pretty happy to be heading
out tonight. I've had a bit of trouble finding any decent women lately so I
joined up at this place about 2 weeks ago http://www.comeandseehere.info/nvgao .
So far been doing pretty well, just chatting to a few girls near me on thecam
and via the mail system on the place, but this is the first one I've lined up.
So anyway, wish me luck guys!

Hi, Cliff

I think you might have the Auld Sod and the Blarney Stone confused.  The
Auld Sod has only one seisiun and it's an advanced, up-tempo seisiun on
Tuesday nights that starts around 7 and runs until whenever.  The tempos
there actually tend to be on the fast side, and we play a much wider
variety of tunes than are in the Blarney Stone tunebook.

The Blarney Stone in Kearney Mesa has an open seisiun Tuesday evenings,
and that's where I'd recommend you start out.  Everyone sits at tables
so it's possible to use sheet music and tunes are played at various
tempos depending on who is there.  Hopefully someone else can let you
know what time the Blarney Stone seisiun starts.

I'd also strongly recommend the House of Ireland music class on Sunday
mornings from 10:30 to 12:00 until you've gotten more comfortable on
whistle.

Elaine

Hi,
I read from the other postings here that the Ouldsod pub has both slow

I really have no tapes to watch, I have a wolf tones cd here some
where. Basicly my little sister bought it for me a couple of years ago
and I would like to be able to play it at least a little next time she
comes out.

I can give an introductory lesson, but would still recommend at

What CDs do you have to play along with?

Hi I just joined the Group and was wondering if there is any one who
teaches Bodhran?
I know there are tape out there but I learn better in person.
I'm in Normal Heights near the sod but work nights.
Hope to hear from you soon

There are a number of music stores that stock beginner drums
(Acoustic Expressions has a few and can order anything you like).
You might want to pick up an instructional tape to review before you
buy one. That way you can get a look at some of the features that
you want (or want to avoid). Tuneable vs. nontuneable (and hardware
for tuning is different for some drums - avoid the outside tuning
ring - it gets in the way of playing).

Mel Mercier puts out a good beginners tape. I picked on up at Guitar
Center years ago, but I think you can still get one online at
http://www.homespuntapes.com

Hi.

  I'm interested in taking Bodhran lessons and looking for a place

  Can anyone help me?

I guess it was a hint, that would be fantastic if I could grab a lift
with you...

The slow session was pretty slow, you probably would be just fine on
the pipes. I think the session next week is the usual faster session
run by Jack Gilder, but I can't say for sure because the schedule
isn't up yet on the web. I'll try and get in touch with Jack and find
out.

I'll be staying at the Mariott on 4th and Market, I believe the
session starts at the Plough on Tuesday night at 9 PM. Maybe we could
meet up a little earlier and grab a bite to eat.

Cheers,

Michael
