Subject: RE: How many of us play in a traditional band.
The aforementioned Homespun/Kerrykeel spun out and died a couple of years ago.

I have, for 10 years or so, played a variety of music from celtoid to swing with a very good fiddle player, and we get community, wedding, nursing home, and dinner music gigs. I like duos because I get all the freedom I need to arrange on the fly.

There is also another duo with a concertina player, though we mainly hitch our cart to an Irish singer as a trio. When we do the duo thing we are mostly trad. Again, as the sole guitarist, there is lots of room for improv within the accompaniment.

Am considering another group...

Peace, Mooh.
