Hi Chanteyranger,
I am a newbie to Canberra. And know only a few local musicians at present. This is not helped by hermit like characteristics.
Anyway...
Our cellist knows many many in the local muso scene. He plays in a group called "Garden of Earthly Delights" and I think John Garden is the mainstay of the group.
I will ask our cellist to ask John about chanteyranger from San Franciscos Irish sessions.
Small world cliche cliche.
