Thread Name: Help! Need a band name by Monday!
Subject: RE: Help! Need a band name by Monday!
Tripping upstairs brings up a good point. A lot of bands tend to use tune titles as band names,. Examples would be Moving Cloud, Roaring Mary etc. It would probably be presumtious to use one of the BIG tunes like the Bucks of Oranmore or Gravel Walk but you probably have enough tunes in youe reperetoire to come up with something. Another good source is to take a name or phrase that can sound perfectly mundane in English, but sounds really impressive in Irish, Scots Gaelic or whatever. A word of caution: I wouldn't use the jig title, "Cailleach na Airgid" as it translates to "the hag with the money" ! On second thought, that might be perfect.

Good luck,

Rich
