Subject: RE: Name our band From: Peter Fisher Date: 07 Mar 99 - 10:09 PM A friend of mine claims to have been in a band called FREE BEER. The pubs they were to play in would advertise all week: Friday night: FREE BEER. They played to large, but somewhat unruly, crowds. How about The Potato Beetles? |

Subject: RE: Name our band From: A Celtic Harper Date: 07 Mar 99 - 08:54 PM Well, there is a successful band here who call themselves "The Mother Folkers," and refer to it as the "most carefully pronounced name in show business....." (They sell lots of T-shirts) But, I don't know guys - that can get a little old after a while, and you may lose some potential fans who'd be put off by it. Other bright ideas below: F'Eire Maiden Slime (from a Dylan Thomas poem, I disremember which) The Cloak, The Boat, and the Shoes (Yeats) All Souls' Night Nuns and Mothers Nuns & Roses All Kindly Toes (a band in the De Lint fantasy novel, "Drink Down the Moon") Midnight Oil Blood & the Moon (Yeats again) Crazy Jane and the Bishop (""")

Subject: RE: Name our band From: alison Date: 04 Mar 99 - 06:08 PM Hi Pete, Same sort of Idea.. saw a pop band the other night who advertised themselves as "What the funk?" Slainte alison |

Subject: RE: Name our band From: Pete Date: 04 Mar 99 - 03:06 PM Thanks for all the great suggestions. I'm surprised there are still so many good names left. I liked 'Duncan Disorderly' but we are going to go for a slant on a previous suggestion and call ourselves "Get the 'folk' out" So keep a look out for us. Thanks again Pete |

Subject: RE: Name our band From: Liam's Brother Date: 01 Mar 99 - 08:19 PM Hi Pete!
When you mention The Dubliners, I think...
Ha'penny Bridge Tunes, as you know, have some very evocative names. Why don't you run down the list of tunes you have and see if there's a name in there for you?
All the best, P.S. Then, there always The Rigamaroulds. as far as I know, it's not taken. They went with the long Gaelic name.

Subject: RE: Name our band From: Margo Date: 01 Mar 99 - 11:57 AM How about "the Bonnie Green ________________". You choose the last word. It could be comical, filling in with an object that isn't normally green except that you're Irish. It could be serious, as you could choose something that is representative of Irish national pride. Or as the title of the song about Napolean, you could call yourselves "the Bonnie Bunch of Roses" and all dress up like the little General. I know, it's pretty far fetched, but that's the way I think; eccentric and obtuse. Margarita |

Subject: RE: Name our band From: Will (inactive) Date: 28 Feb 99 - 08:51 PM oooh ... I really like the "Enid Blyton" suggestion. continuing in that vein, you might consider "E. Nesbit" (Five children and it) |

Subject: RE: Name our band From: Date: 28 Feb 99 - 12:10 PM I have always thought that "Eyrie" would be a good name for an Irish band, since it looks sort of Irish, and it would stick in a mind that was trying to work out of it was an acrostic, misspelled (should it be eerie or Eire or airy or Erie?) and means something completely different. Yours, Peter T. |

Subject: RE: Name our band From: Alice Date: 27 Feb 99 - 02:02 PM Pete, give us a little more about the character of the group. Are you all from a particular town or county? Did you have a previous name you have dropped? Is there a word or idea with which you identify? |
|
Subject: RE: Name our band From: Lonesome EJ Date: 27 Feb 99 - 11:49 AM I was devastated to hear that the name"American Standard", a name that has stood for years for the highest quality in bathroom fixtures, has been adopted by a white supremacist band. Is nothing sacred? |

Subject: RE: Name our band From: Big Mick Date: 26 Feb 99 - 11:16 PM How about "I'm Not White, I'm Irish"? All the best, Big Mick |

Subject: RE: Name our band From: Cap't Bob Date: 26 Feb 99 - 09:49 PM Our band is called the POSEY LAKE AKADEMY STRING BAND. Before you fall off you chair laughing, I would like to point out that there several advantages in calling your self either an Academy or Conservatory, ~ such as Randall Street Conservatory, etc. If you have a good story teller in your group there are all kinds of tales that you can make up about things going on at your institution, reaserch projects,etc. This comes in handy especially when a string breaks or the band just needs a rest. We have even been known to give out computer generated diplomas. We play Irish, folk, sailing songs using about the same instruments that you fellows have |
|
Subject: RE: Name our band From: Den Date: 26 Feb 99 - 08:52 PM I always thought, since I play the whistle myself, if there were more than one whistle player you could call yourselves, "The Whistling Mothers", or how about Duncan Disorderly, The preening Accountants, Tog Mor, Ash plant, Christie Mor, Murphy's Law, Comeallya I think I need to lie down now, |

Subject: RE: Name our band From: catspaw49 Date: 26 Feb 99 - 06:55 PM Have you considered the "Irish Massengils"??? I've always thought those 2 companies should get together on both product and advertising. I mean you could have the vacuous bimbo say her line: "I just LOVE the new Shape."......followed by the Irish stud saying: "And what a fine, fresh scent." See, if you could sell the companies, you could probably get the commercial music contract which would get your new band off to a flying start. Just a thought....... catspaw |
