Subject: Name Our Band! From: GUEST,Shona Date: 24 May 01 - 02:54 PM Hey. I need some help! My friends and I have started a band and we havent got a name! we are all about 15 years old (so no dodgy names please!!) and we play celtic rock music. There is a fiddler (thats me!), pipes, guitars and drums. We need a name soon cuz we will be getting some gigs soon but no one can think of any names!! The only thing i ask of you all is that its a scottish name because we are all scottish! thank you all so much! I look forward to the results! |

Subject: RE: Help: Name Our Band! From: Chicken Charlie Date: 24 May 01 - 04:00 PM If you play Celtic music, you could simply call yourselves "Boston," but I doubt that would play in Scotland. A witty friend of mine once wrote a whole pseudo-Celtic poem which was in fact totally meaningless. I have always remembered the line, "Across the hodg-ed webbings of the geel, cry in the slueg waestrel..." and the sort of chorus: "The toonkas wail, 'Hie-glay, hie-glay.'"
The Toonkas Clan McPlayers?? |
