I hope you didn't miss the point I made about women's head voice; a common problem
When I first heard Frankie Armstrong she sang using a fairly breathy tone - now she runs classes trying to persuade women to use and control all areas of their voice - I hope the Goilín wemen are discussing the same
We're off to Dublin shortly - missed the Goilín but we're lucky enough top catch tonight's Cobblestones singing - organised ad run by mainly young singers new to the scene - many singing traditional songs superbly
It looks like we ma be able to start things going her in Clare, once one of teh best singing counties but fallen by the wayside since the old singers died off
Fingers crossed   

Not helpful when you're tryingto encourage people to talk about learning to sing Al -Mildly amusing but not helpful
