There's a lot of talented people out in mudcatters-land. I play guitar, bodhran, a little banjo and bozouki and sing in a band called Fridays Penny. My friend Pete plays fiddle, guitar and banjo('s), his three daughters (Emily, Sarah and Julie) play fiddle, banjo, mandolin, mandola, double bass and flute. We mostly play traditional (that word again) music from Scotland and Ireland with a little American and English thrown in. Sometimes we get paid but more often we do it because we enjoy it (and the free drink, when it's offered (Not often enough!) - Pete and I get the alchohol as the girls are all under 18). Then there's the Celidh band we play in and then there's the Fiddle Group but thats another story!
