Hi I know this thread is a bit old but seems to me its a good one. I'm new to the net so here goes. I live in Bath, England and live partly alone and partly with my daughter who is twelve. I got into folk about seven years ago after a long gap not playinging anything after a muasic degree twently odd years ago. I play paino accordion, flute and recently the mandolin. I also play in a quasi jazz type band, a nine-piece outfit playing ordinal roots based dance music. I love playing in the band as the other players are mainly better than me and include some professionals, so its a real buzz.

I love Irish music and playing in the local pub sessions around this area, which seems to be full of great musicians. The main attraction of folk is its accessibility and the great friendliness of the people in the folk world, which seems to be reflected in Mudcat.

Any Mudcatters visiting the southwest of England get in touch

cheers
