Subject: RE: My band needs a name From: Mysha Date: 23 Feb 09 - 08:34 PM Hi, Apparently, they ought to be: "The Irish Green String Band". (The Ire-land String Band?) But I must say, I'd really take notice if a band actually was called: "Cyril without a doubt". (-: Bye, Mysha |
Subject: RE: My band needs a name From: bubblyrat Date: 23 Feb 09 - 06:06 PM Add a bit of Klezmer, and you could be "The Mountain Jew Boys". |

Subject: RE: My band needs a name From: Jim Dixon Date: 23 Feb 09 - 10:09 AM Too bad "Phil & the Blanks" has been taken. There are a lot of economic buzzwords going around now that would be adaptable. Right now I'd like to have a band called "Stimulus Package." "Cap & Trade" would be a good name for a duo. |

Subject: RE: My band needs a name From: Jayto Date: 22 Feb 09 - 02:34 PM What about Savage Squirrel? I had a folk/rockabilly/punk mixture thing for a while called the Bloody Holley's. I had a line in a song that said "the radio was blaring out Buddy Holley." One night when I was playing a writers night in Nashville I had to many beers and said Bloody Holley instead. One of the guys in the round with me asked who the Bloody Holley's were after. I laughed and thought it would be a cool name so later in Louisville Ky. I formed a little band that was pretty intense. Just an experimental thing and real aggressive. I named it after my slip up. We would pack the house every night and everyone always had something to say about the band name. SOme good some bad but it caught attention and stuck in people's heads. cya JT Bankley and I are the Sleepy Hollow Boys lol I am a huge Sleepy Hollow fan and have been since I was in the 1st grade. Man 1st grade was the worst 6 years of my life lol jk |

Subject: RE: My band needs a name From: Les in Chorlton Date: 21 Feb 09 - 03:21 AM I guess Irish Bluegrass should be Greengrass or possibly Orange and Greengrass |
Subject: RE: My band needs a name From: Barbara Date: 21 Feb 09 - 12:10 AM Pip Radish When I first saw the planxty Fanny Power I thought, what a great name for an all-female band... That only works on the European side of the pond, friend. Over here it has a different name. Blessings, Barbara I think I recall from the top of the thread that Frank was in North America, but maybe not... |
Subject: RE: My band needs a name From: Bob Hitchcock Date: 20 Feb 09 - 09:17 PM Lets see, Irish Bluegrass, there's a concept....... What about something like "The Dublin Mountain Boy's" Just a thought. |

Subject: RE: My band needs a name From: VirginiaTam Date: 20 Feb 09 - 03:02 PM I believe my daughter used to sing (on occasion) with a group called Piper Doon (as in piper down - the bagpipes were broken or the piper was out of commission - I don't know which) at a pub called WB Yeats in Chapel Hill North Carolina. Somewhere in that little story of performing trad Irish Folk in an Irish pub in the middle of the Appalachain mountains there has to be a name for a band. Appalachian go bragh? |
Subject: RE: My band needs a name From: Suegorgeous Date: 20 Feb 09 - 02:41 PM Hope Frank reappears to tell us his choice! and will there be a prize....? :) |

I'm orginally from Evanston, Illinois, so I could call my band "The Chicago Sanitary Canal Boys" (if I had a band and it was all-men). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_Sanitary_and_Ship_Canal "In my opinion, 'Celt' and 'Celtic' are getting worn out. The world seems to be dividing among those who have no idea what you're talking about and those who sneer." How about "The Worn-Out Celts"? |

Subject: RE: My band needs a name From: HipflaskAndy Date: 20 Feb 09 - 01:26 PM I'm quite taken with the band name... The Duncan McFarlane Band ...no complaints from any other band members in seven years... only from the wife of one of the other band members!! But when she tries to interfere with the band business too much, we all usually riposte with the word 'Dobly' (due reference to Spinal Tap) Go for it, Frank! (but what's your surname?) All the best - Duncan (in full jesting mode) |
