Subject: RE: How was it ?
Fair enough.But it was a bit late/early,and I'm fairly new at this carry on. Haven't played with a piper for a while so I'll get down to Betty's when the season is over.Hope the reeds are o.k.

Anyway,fiddler and myself went into the pub.The audience was a combination of locals and tourists (french and northern irish).One thing about the N Irish is that they love a song.A mother came up and asked if her kids could join us."No problem"we said.Ages 6 and 8,whistle and fiddle.So thier uncle starts us off with "The boys from Co Armagh",followed by "Green fields of France".My fiddling freind is of the Sliabh Lucra style,having being taught by Padraig O'Keefe,so polkas and slides abound with a few songs thrown in,it was a pretty good night.Another happy holiday memory,and I've got my 4 pack. Peter T thanks for the shopping list,paddymac,alcohol taking effect,flattop,I,m off u....,InOBU,Slainte.
