Thread Name: How many of us play in a traditional band.
Subject: RE: How many of us play in a traditional band.
I play in a ceilidh band called 'Marmalade' due to the fact we meet for breakfast on Saturday mornings at respective members' homes at the unheard of hour of 08.30. We then practice until 10.30 or so. We play traditional Irish, Scots, English and Breton tunes on fiddle, flute, accordion. We started off as an all female group but as some dropped out we have enlisted the help of some male players, my son, JohnJ on melodeon and his friend on guitar. We also have an 'errant' learner guitar player called Jen who is very promising (when she shows up....sorry Jen!) We play for the fun of it.
