Hi,

For anyone with time on their hands! :-)

A new Social Networking site for all players of Irish Traditional Music.

Nothing too serious folks, just a fun place to come & show off your Irish Music Photos, MP3s & Videos, post details of your gigs etc. all on your very own Home Page.

oh yes .... & just chill with other Irish Music playing enthusiasts.

Irish Traditional Musicians

Cheers
Dick

For the people who check this thread, I seem to remember reading about a site that had slowed down traditional fiddle tunes for people who wanted to practice. Does anybody remember what that site was? I can't find it now.

Do you have to be at all accomplished, or are learners welcome?

Hey Rog, of course everyone who plays Irish Music is welcome.

After all, we were all learners once!

Thanks for the link Bardford.

Ptarmigan, do you mean you're not learning anymore?

That r2 site is a great idea but as yet it seems to have lots of bugs in it. The sound editing on some of the tunes seems very iffy and I've tried to print some of the music out using Vista and it doesn't work. Anyone else having trouble with it? Also, there's no way to slow the music down and I recon beginners wouldn't stand a chance at keeping up with it. I think it's main strengh is in seeing the music written down and immediately being able to hear how it should sound.

Why do you have to be a member to read the rules?

Keeping up with Mudcat, TheSession, YouTube, MySpace, and a number of other sites means I have very little time left to actually play music! Don
