Subject: RE: Campsite at Drumcree III From: GUEST,The Wolfe Tones Date: 08 Feb 02 - 09:14 AM CHORUS Amoured cars and tanks and guns Took the bodhráns off our sons Took their baters, turned them into Men Behind The Wire Through the little streets of Sligo In the hours of early morn Freestate soldiers came marauding Wrecking little homes with scorn "Where's your bodhrán, Cathy Jordan?" "Give us thon oul' hoorin' drum!" "Grab thon bater off her, Paddy, Kick her up her wiggly bum!" CHORUS Not for them a judge or jury Nor indeed a proper crime Jus' because they bate a bodhrán In a session lots of times But roun' the world the truth will echo Everywhere a drum is bate Those who drum must drum for justice Ensuring they escape our fate CHORUS

Over two hundred bodhrán players have been rounded up in Northern Ireland with up to 1,000 behind bars in the Republic. Malachy Kearns are Gino Lupari at still at large. Eamonn Holmes is still simply large ... |

Subject: RE: Campsite at Drumcree III From: GUEST,Darren Vaughan Date: 08 Feb 02 - 09:09 AM Good Evening this is the news read by Darren Vaughan, and I apologise for sounding like I have something stuck up my bum. In a raid today in the Town of Milltown Malby Gardai uncovered plans for a super bodhran that was being built on waste ground behind Mary Clancy's pub. The scaffolding had been erected and a herd of goats were taken away by officials in a horse box. Gardai spokesman Felim Toole said that the repercussions, if this thing had been built, could have been felt as far away as Portadown. Mr. Toole said that the shockwave could have levelled homes and businesses for miles around. Dissident bodhran makers Eamon Maguire and Paul Doyle were found at the scene and taken in to custody. |

Subject: RE: Campsite at Drumcree III From: GUEST,Colin Powell, US Secretary of State Date: 08 Feb 02 - 08:41 AM In a press conference this morning, Secretary of State Colin Powell declared Walton's in Dublin a terrorist organization, claiming the music shop was a front for Irish terrorist bodhran players with ties to bin Laden and the Al Qaeda network. This is the latest development in the story from yesterday, when federal marshalls raided Irish theme pubs and gift shops across the US, to cut off the flow of funds to Irish traditional music terrorists, who have historically toured the US to raise funds for their terrorist network in Ireland. While there was some outcry in local areas, such as Patterson, NJ, where supporters of the Irish traditional music terrorist network claimed the funds raised went only to support drug and drink habits of loved ones back home, US Attorney General John Ashcroft said "the FBI and CIA have proof the fenian bastards and bastardettes have been operating in this country for well over a decade" and when questioned as to the nature of the evidence, Attorney General Ashcroft said "well, if the proof is good enough for the ghost of J Edgar, it's good enough for me and all good Americans." Over 150,000 Celtic "gift" bodhrans were confiscated in the raids, authorities said. |

Subject: RE: Campsite at Drumcree III From: GUEST Date: 08 Feb 02 - 08:22 AM Speaking from his secret complex of caves deep in the heart of Inishowen, the area now known as Bodhrán Bodhrán, leader of the outlawed Continuity Bodhrán Liberation Army, Gino "Mad Dog" Lupari, issued the following statement today ... "The fools. They think we have been silenced. But as long as there's hide on a goat, an Ireland robbed of the instrument that mirrors our manly pulse will never be at aise. I have two thousand bodhránii under instruction in my percussion camps. The day will come when we will strike and Blair and his kind will feel the wrath of the bodhrán baters of the six counties, the twenty six counties, Cricklewood, Kilburn and Boston." Blair The Merciless, Ruler Of The Known Universe was unavailable for comment. Aides confirmed that he embarked last night on a diplomatic mission to nearby Alpha Centauri. |

Subject: RE: Campsite at Drumcree III From: GUEST,Newsflash!! Date: 08 Feb 02 - 08:06 AM Ananova... President Blair of the World has suddenly cut short his diplomatic tour of West Africa following intelligence briefings on the growing percussion menace in Ireland. "This bodhran thing is getting out of hand..." said Blair "...and following urgent hotline discussions..I have the full backing of Deputy President Bush for a "first strike" policy on these dangerous instruments...". President Putin was unavailable for comment following chaos within the Kremlin following an outbreak of cymbalum playing in former Soviet republics. Blair went on to say "If these instruments of mass percussion should fall into the hands of fanatical and extremist musicianers, we may face the greatest musical crisis in the West since I played rock guitar at university". Continuing, Blair went on to say "I am personally working closely with the proper authorities north and south of the border to ensure that these instruments of percussion are put beyond use..." Concluding, Blair said "Following the interception of The Tipper in West Cork and the discovery of Pakistani-made bodhrans on board, me and Shrubbie believe that Bin Laden may be somewhere behind all this..." Meanwhile, the trial of Kearns continues back in Dublin with rumours of massive support from the Irish population for his now-acclaimed "rhythm" speech....

Subject: RE: Campsite at Drumcree III From: GUEST,Hot Press Date: 08 Feb 02 - 06:26 AM The proposed "deaccompanisation" of Irish Traditional Music has engendered a sudden and dramatic re-emergence of the Irish Music supergroups. The Bothy Band, Oisin, Stockton's Wing and Sweeney's Men have all announced plans to re-form for a one-off series of concerts at a variety of venues throughout Ireland. Planxty are rumoured to be on the verge of re-forming. However sources close to the band have confirmed that Andy Irvine is insisting that he be allowed to do at least half-a-dozen Eastern European numbers each show, while Christy is similarly insisting he be allowed to do three to four funny songs like Lisdoonvarna and Don't Forget Your Shovel. Meanwhile Donal Lunny and Liam Óg are rumoured to "hate each awr's guts". They will play together on stage, but provided they are positioned at opposite ends of the stage and Liam Óg has his back to Lunny. Thankfully, rumours of a Touchstone and a Moving Hearts comeback tour have been scotched! |

Subject: RE: Campsite at Drumcree III From: GUEST,The Irish News Date: 08 Feb 02 - 06:05 AM We reproduce below Kearns' speech from the dock. My friends … I stand before you and before God, accused of what? Accused of labouring with might and main to produce the drum, nay THE DRUM!, that – more than any other emblem of our Irishness, denotes the quickness of our pulse and the rhythm in our feet, the burl and rattle of the wind against the byre door, the hammering of our hearts as we struggle in our currachs against raging seas to bring home the herrings for our wives and wee ones. And they say, that this is a crime. That for the manufacture and the playing of this noble instrument, once beloved of Finn McCool, of Sweeney the Bard, of Cuchullain, of Brian Boru (a mighty drummer indeed, comparable only to Lupari in his intricacy and deftness of touch) and of The Wild Geese, Kearns must be censured by the state! Well … I say this! You may ban the drum, but you cannot ban the rhythm. Ladies and gentlemen. Consider well your verdict.

Subject: RE: Campsite at Drumcree III From: GUEST,Newsflash! Date: 08 Feb 02 - 06:03 AM Associated Press... It was reported this morning that an Irish Coastguard vessel The Uillean intercepted and boarded a vessel The Tipper as it tried to sneak into Schull harbour in remote West Cork. Coastguards found a large but as yet undeternimed number of illegal bodhrans on board. It is believed that thay were on their way to the Popular Front for Ruining a Session and had originated in Pakistan. Bodhran Decommisssioning Body chief General de Pipestelain declared himself satisfied with the find and contratualted the Coastguard authorities saying "In many ways, these imported percussion pieces are more dangerous and unpredictable than the locally-made variety. It takes the greatest care from a highly trained decommissioning expert to put one beyond use." A local goat, Nanny O'Goat was reported as saying "This is a major success by the authorities. These cheaply-shagged Asian skins are vastly inferior to what we produce here in Connemara. We must however remain vigilant against this insidious spread of anti-percussionism". Malachy Kearns also congratulated the authorities saying "Why would anyone want to procure one of these highly dangerous devices when they can have a real one with a painted Celtic Knot guaranteed to last 300 years..!" Waltons refused to comment on the news... |

Subject: RE: Campsite at Drumcree III From: GUEST,NEWSFLASH!!!! Date: 08 Feb 02 - 05:38 AM A policeman was treated for shock after being subjected to a drive-by "batterin'" last night. The officer was standing guard outside "Lupari's", a well-known purveyor of the now-illegal bodhrán drum, when two men on a motorbike screeched to a halt outside the shop and subjected him to his thirty-second ordeal. The officer said "The driver produced a 16" deerskin from under his coat and proceeded to give it "Liverpool-Everton, Liverpool-Everton" for at least four bars. At which point his accomplice, on the pillion, produced an 18" tunable with a cut-out and gave it "Rashers-and-eggs-and-lashings-of-sausages" for a further four or five bars." The officer was rushed to Altnagelvin Hospital, where he was subjected to intensive solo recordings of John Doherty, Leo Rowsome and Willie Clancy. He is said to have made a complete recovery. |

Subject: RE: Campsite at Drumcree III From: GUEST,Newsflash! Date: 08 Feb 02 - 05:29 AM Reuters... Commotion broke out outside the headquarters of the Bodhran Decommissioning Body this morning. Witnesses reported hearing several extremely loud thumps followed by a fusillade of rimshots and several further bangs. Another bystander claimed to have seen several large men, all carrying suspicious circular packages running away from the scene. Police reported that a coded message claimed the attack was the work of the 5th Flying Bodhran Brigade and it is also thought that a woman getaway driver was also involved. When interviewed later by detectives, Cathy Jordan claimed that she was elsewhere at the time of the daring raid, doing a silly dance during a Dervish performance at the Drumcree Gathering with thousands of witnesses. Also interviewed, Malachy Kearns said he was not involved although he was quoted as saying "I hope the big boys gave the feckers a mighty good wallopin'". End of report... |

Subject: RE: Campsite at Drumcree III From: GUEST,NEWSFLASH!!!! Date: 08 Feb 02 - 05:29 AM Gardai in County Galway have confirmed the discovery a large percussion dump in the town of Roundstone. A trained percussion defusal squad is on hand. A spokesman said. "Jaysus. But it was desperate, right enough. There was enough goatskin on all of the bodhráns in thon place to make a waistcoat for Eamonn Holmes. Or a biker jacket for Gino Lupari." Police in Northern Ireland are warning people to be on the look-out. Music shops with "Book of Kells"-type lettering are best-avoided. If you come upon a suspicious bodhrán, contact your local police station and a squad of highly trained bodhrán defusal experts will be despatched immediately. Hardware shops are reporting a huge surge is sales of Stanley knives as squads of "Percussion Vigilantes" have formed in most major population centres in Irekand, North and South. Christy Moore is helping police with their enquiries. |

Subject: RE: Campsite at Drumcree III From: GUEST,A STATEMENT FROM THE DECOMMISSIONING BODY Date: 08 Feb 02 - 04:44 AM The proposed depercussionalisation of the Island of Ireland has been embraced by a wide cross-section of popular opinion and is already well underway. We are now canvassing opinion on two further initiatives which, it is hoped, will have long-term benefits for the Irish Musical Tradition. The first is the "dealienisation" of Irish Music. This means, in effect, the banning of all instruments which are not native to the tradition. For example, the didgeridoo, the nose-flute and the pan-pipes, the castanets, the marimba and the "comb-and-paper". The second is the "deaccompanisation" of music, which refers to the removal of all forms of accompaniment. Under this proposal, the solo performance (on a ntaive instrument - see above) will be reinstated to its rightful place as the highest form of artistic expression in Irish music. Two instruments may perform together, provided that they are "native" and that they play in unison. Views are welcome until end-February, following which the proposals, however revised, will be effected. |

There's a place by the wide River Bann And it goes by the name of Drumcree The green grass is tramped into glar And the tents, they all flap in the breeze Where the orangemen made their last stand On a hill, for all who can see And there dwells the love of my heart Is ar Eirinn ni neosfainn ce hi Like a chuckie that longs for the dawn Of an Ireland united and free I long for my own cailin ban But she don't give a damn about me If she'd only stop drinkin' thon wine An' snortin' thon big lines of speed Our bodies would naked entwine Is ar Eirinn ni neosfainn ce hi

Subject: RE: Campsite at Drumcree III From: GUEST,Belfast Tele Date: 07 Feb 02 - 10:30 AM There were violent clashes at the Drumcree Mega-Session yesterday when participants were attacked by a group operating under the name "Real Mudcat". It is thought that this may be another splinter group of Folk-Nazis, who have in the past gone under the names of "Continuity Mudcat", "Provisonal Mudcat", "Mudcat Defenders" and "I Can't Believe It's Not The Mudcat". This is not the first time that peace initiatives in Northern Ireland have come under attack, as anyone on the "Peace Train", which was delayed by a security alert on the line, will recall. Sir Ronnie Flanagan has said that the people of the North will not tolerate such attempts to disrupt the path to peace. Tony Blair has issued a statement that "we will not bow to the demands of the few who wish to delay bodhran decommissioning. The people of Northern Ireland have spoken, and they have said 'bodhrans now, then spoons'". |

Subject: RE: Campsite at Drumcree III From: GUEST,UTV Live Date: 07 Feb 02 - 10:09 AM Mike Nesbitt (for it is he): "And other news tonight: following the investigation into the Drumcree Session, proximity sessions are to be held in a number of tents in the area. The Alliance Party have also agreed to attend, saying they meant "no offence" by their absence. It is hoped that the bodhran decommisioning will go ahead as planned next week, putting bodhrans permanently beyond use. It has been denied that they are to be sold to tourists." |
