Thread Name: Any Irish musicians out there?
Subject: RE: Any Irish musicians out there?
Hi Seachrán Sídhe I run a small agency, that arrange tours for mostly folk musicians. Mostly pub gigs, but also folkclub sessions and privat gigs. I've been running this for 2 years now, and it's develloping. (don't mind my spelling - I'm Danish) The tour is mostly in the areas of Jüttland and Fyn, but I've also arranged a couple of gigs at folkclubs on Seeland (Copenhagen) It all started because we (my husband and I)own a pub our selves, and had some Scottish folk bands playing there. Some of the bands were not too satisfied with the way their agent ran the buisness, so they asked us to take over. The gigs pay around 250£ each for 3 X 45 min.(duos) Sometimes more sometimes less depending on the day of the week. Normaly the Scottish bands come over for 3-4 weeks and do 3-4 gigs a week. Since we've always done tours for Scottish musicians (English as well) we would like to get some Irish traditional folk music. Look up http://home10.inet.tele.dk/sbook (there's an English edition) This will give you an idea of what I mean, even though the sites on musicians is not translated yet.
