Hi Phien. Thanks for your kind words about the Youtube clips. I'm originally from the London area myself though my parents were from Mayo. I've been up north about 13 years, first in Manchester and lately in Liverpool. There's a nice little session in Liverpool on Mondays at the Edinburgh in Wavertree, on Sandown Lane, if you're ever in town. I was last there a couple of weeks ago - there was a piper called Simon Doyle there with this three young daughters. Don't know if you'd know them but they're great musicians. John Rooney, the piper, was there as well. I'd heard about John but not had the chance to play with him before. Very flamboyant player, and quite fast when he wants to be. I also work with a singer from Cavan in a duo (Fiona McConnell, who's also in the band with me). If you want to PM me at CCBJEBBRB@aol.com I'll send you a few tracks if you like. Good luck at Dale Farm today. Hope the weather's better than it is up here this morning!
