Vá , this is a great thread, there has been many bands from Ireland
and all of them has one or two guitar´s , I have not yet heard of any band yet, who play with out a guitar who had come to Iceland that is folk music..


In my band we have four guitars only two guitar players and Helgi
coult be alone playing but sometimes it´s good to have some rythm
in the back ( right )and it is not always just ( strum, strum ,strum and strum ) sometimes it sounds very great.I my self play guitar´s
both six and twelve string and a Bodhrán .

The chieftains is a band without guitar and it sounds great,
Lunasa have guitar and it´s sounds even better, it´s great either way it is , but in some songs it´s good to leave the guitar out.

Micheal thank you for this , this is what Mudcat is for

All the Best Skarpi Iceland.
