That said, it is good news for those who could get to see them. They are quite fantastic. PS, Midchuck, I don't think this thread deserves a BS title. Jon |

I thought the Old Songs gig was the most important news since so many mudcatters go there, so I edited down to that. The whole tour schedule is here if my blue clicky maker is working tonight.

14 Feb 02 - 12:09 AM (#649712) Subject: RE: BS: Some GOOD news From: Seamus Kennedy One of the reasons I'm playing at the North Texas Irish Festival in March is that Chris and Maire are performing there. He is the most incredible guitarist (sorry Jed and Rick) I've seen in a long tome. I loved his work when he was backing Fred Wedlock, but at a session after the festival last year, he was AMAZING. Anything...he can play anything! Folk, bluegrass, country, jazz, classical, Celtic..all at the same time. Jed, after we do our thing (Oh by the way, did you rehearse while you were gallivanting around up there with God's frozen people?) come and sit in the session with Chris and the others. Seamus |

14 Feb 02 - 08:11 PM (#650428) Subject: RE: Some GOOD news: Chris Newman in US From: Guessed I remember Chris's days in the Pigsty Hill Light Orchestra. I don't remember too much of the repertoire but I do remember him practicing note perfect at double or triple speed some complex blues piece. AND the night he was invited to play on stage with Stephane Grapelli, AND the amazing dueting with Máire's harp. Impressed is too shallow a word. |
