Thread Name: Celtic Music in Switzerland?
Subject: RE: Celtic Music in Switzerland?
Well, if I lived in Switzerland I imagine I might want a bit of an Irish session sometimes - but "all lovely mountains and no music"?

In Switzerland as I understand it, you've got German bits, and Italian bits and Fench bits, and bits where they've got some fourth language called Romansch or sometimes. There has to be all minds of great Swiss music - you could be finding it and learning it and playing it.

I'm reminded of the story of the two men standing outside a church when the bells all started pealing out.

"Would you listen to that music!" says one.

"What did you say?" says the other.

"WOULD YOU LISTEN TO THAT MUSIC!" bellows the first one.

"I CAN'T HEAR IT - THOSE BLOODY BELLS MUST BE DROWNING IT OUT!"
