Regarding Rosie and Lucy Coggle mentioned on this thread. Watched them perform at Market Rasen Folk Club(Walesby) last evening and have to say they are brilliant. Rosie on the fiddle(if you pardon the expression) Lucy on the Bohdran and Double Bass(or cello..I don't know the difference)...Not long left school but talented and confident. I have a feeling we will be hearing more of them.
Best wishes.

GS - the 'cello or violincello to give it its anotomical name is the wooden instrument that you clench between your thighs. In the sessions around Barton sans Hyphens, 'cellos are often filled with lentils and shaken loudly, despite the effort involved, particularly during contemplative and sensitive songs. Only once have I heard the double bass (the larger version that you can hide behind) filled with golf balls to acheive a slightly more robust timbre than the shakey 'cello. On that particular evening, the operator was hospitalised for two weeks for heat exhaustion.

The bodrahahahan on the other hand, is a round drummy thing that you thrash with a stick.

I hope that clears it up.
