Hi Harpgirl Ive been visiting Mudcat for 3 weeks and joined as a menber.I come from the Peoples Free Democratic Republic of Eccles,Manchester,England.Eccles is famous throughout the universe as the home of the "Eccles cake"(a type of cooky?). I play Highland pipes,Flute,whistles,Bodhran,and I've got a Bardic harp (metal strings,great sound).I mostly play traditional dance music but have ventured into Blues and North Indian classical Ragas. I'm still learning the ropes but this is a great site and I think you'l have alot of fun.Best wishes Pied Piper
