Subject: Paris, France, this weekend From: Skipjack K8 Date: 21 Jan 00 - 07:11 AM This is probably une shot massive en le noir, but I am taking 'She whom I enjoy obeying' to Paris for a surprise weekend. Does anybody know of any sessions/gigs/places of interest to Celts in Paris? I will be able to check back here until 18.00 EST tonight. Thanks, in anticipation, 'Catters. Skipjack |

Subject: RE: Help: Paris, France, this weekend From: Skipjack K8 Date: 21 Jan 00 - 07:20 AM Thanks Brendy! Blimey, this community is effective. 5 minutes! What sort of joint is it. Session possibilities? My box is the size and weight of a fridge freezer, so I'll only lug it there with good odds on using it in anger. Skipjack |

Subject: RE: Help: Paris, France, this weekend From: GUEST,Martin Ryan Date: 21 Jan 00 - 11:37 AM The Quiet Man is probably too small to FIT your box into - never mind play it! I jest, of course - but it is small. If you do a forum search on "Remi" you might pick up some details from a local who joined a thread some time ago. |

Subject: RE: Help: Paris, France, this weekend From: Skipjack K8 Date: 21 Jan 00 - 12:01 PM Thanks, Martin. Will probably go unarmed, and try and lose some weight! Will check it out anyway. Ta Skipjack |

Subject: RE: Help: Paris, France, this weekend From: Brendy Date: 21 Jan 00 - 10:00 PM Sorry Skip for not getting back til now - you've probably gone now! I don't have the phone no. handy, but yes, it is small and you have a right to be there just like everyone else. Tell us about it when you get back. Been there much Martin? B. |

Subject: RE: Help: Paris, France, this weekend From: GUEST,Martin Ryan Date: 22 Jan 00 - 07:08 AM Last November a group of about 50 traditional singers from the Goleen Singers Club in Dublin invaded Paris to sing at Napoleon's Tomb! We had two great sessions in the Quiet Man - four really, because we had separate singing sssions in both main bar and downstairs. Grand, hospitable pub. Regards |

Subject: RE: Help: Paris, France, this weekend From: Skipjack K8 Date: 24 Jan 00 - 12:02 PM Hi, fellas. Had an absolutely storming weekend. We were staying just north of Haudriettes, and dropped by The Quiet Man about 8ish. Trouble was they'd got really badly bent out of shape on Friday night, as an army of Irish dance teachers had poled up, and they had a dance in there! And yes, it is kinda small, but a terrific place. There were a couple of deckie learners having a go downstairs, but all the regulars were off at a ceilidh that night. The Guiness tasted genuine Liffe (I bet the dray men scrap over that delivery!). It's a must do next time. The maid behind the bar knows Remi well, but I couldn't find any recent postings here before I went. Thanks for your help. Salut! Skipjack |

Subject: RE: Help: Paris, France, this weekend From: Brendy Date: 24 Jan 00 - 12:15 PM Gives me a sort of hankering to to back soon! Any time I go to the States, I normally go through Charles de Gaulle. It gives me the perfect excuse to spend a couple of days before, and after, in the fabled town......and in the fabled pub! Glad you enjoyed yourself. B. |

Subject: RE: Help: Paris, France, this weekend From: Rick Fielding Date: 25 Jan 00 - 09:45 PM I dunno. A few years ago I was showing some Texas songwriters (Butch Hancock and Jimmie Dale Gilmour) that I'd played with at a Mariposa Festival, our fair city. I was trying to think of a good representative Canadian restaurant to show off, when they started sayin':"Barbeque! Barbeque! Y'all got any good Texas Barbeque! Sheesh, I thought, the day before they were in Austin, and they'd be back there in 24 hours. But needless to say, that's what they wanted, and of course when we got to a "Canadian" Barbeque place, they found it sadly wanting. Next time I'm in Texas, I'll put a rider in the contract that I gotta have back bacon! Rick |

Subject: RE: Help: Paris, France, this weekend From: GUEST,Martin Ryan Date: 26 Jan 00 - 06:24 AM Calm down, gargoyle! Anyway - how do you make out that an ENGLISHMAN (?) looking for an IRISH musical experience in FRANCE, is an ANGLOphile? HIBERNOphile, FRANCOphobe or some curous hybrid, maybe! Regards |

Subject: RE: Help: Paris, France, this weekend From: Skipjack K8 Date: 26 Jan 00 - 08:38 AM Far from being pro or anti any particular nation or it's people, when I travel it is generally my intention to find common ground on which to form relationships with folk wherever I happen to be, whatever their origins, something akin to why we all signed up to Mudcat perhaps?! I did not travel to Paris to find Irish music, I travelled to Paris to give my wife (of 16 years) a romantic birthday treat, but as a relative stranger with limited time sought a spring board to social contact and used one of my many passions in life to that end. I'm pretty sure it ain't you, Garg, as a genuine music thread usually tempts your extensive knowledge, and your syntax isn't that piss poor, so I address the gobshite flamer guesting under you. Perhaps we all come across as 'batons merdeux' to you, but I think you need to find a little 'joie de vivre' and loosen up mate! Regarding your opening line, I got laid in Paris, always a good source of tranquility, you should try it! Skipjack |

Subject: RE: Help: Paris, France, this weekend From: GUEST,Annraoi Date: 27 Jan 00 - 08:36 PM I suggest we all ignore Gargoyle. It's only a waste of bandwith. Deny it the oxygen of recognition. Annraoi |

Subject: RE: Help: Paris, France, this weekend From: Jo Taylor Date: 28 Jan 00 - 06:22 PM Garg, most French persons call all English-speaking people Anglais... it irritates our Scots, Irish and Welsh acquaintances, however Irish music is THE THING here at present and so all trad. music is 'Irlandaise' (or Breton) which irritates me because I like English and Scottish and Welsh trad music too. Strange paradox. Still, you should hear Norman music - no wonder they're keen on Irlandaise. And, of course, Paris is a different country to the rest of France. Anyone coming to Normandy? Jo |
