Thanks you lot - you never fail to give the answers. Hi Alison - Carrick is fine, traditional/folk music has taken a big surge forward in the area. The group I play with has had lots of requests from local pubs and hotels to start a traditional evening. We have had to pass this info out to other players and groups as we can't do them all. When you back if you have time drop into the Coast Road Hotel in Carrick on a Wed evening 9.30pm to 2.00am - its usually a good session with 8 to 15 players mixed ability - free drink to the players.

Thanks again. Mike
