:::poing!:::

I just found out that my group got nominated for a Wammy (Washington Area Music Association Award) for "Best folk/traditional music group". I am stunned! Never saw that coming for sure.

I am a bit taken a-back...what an honor...

I wasn't going to do this, contributing to the general debauchery of this place and all. But since so many people have been asking, and since my baby sister seems to have got herself off somewhere else (doing god knows what) and forgotten about this thread, here goes...

Pyrates Royale

(You owe me one, Ms. Soul. Something good, too. Not a Guiness.)

CarolC, too true. I am too busy these days, but it's only been, what, a day since I posted this? As for something good, whadja have in mind? I am thinking maybe a Mackesons triple stout at the Royal Mile Pub if Guinness is not good enough.

In any case, yeah, that's my band's web address, and yes, if we win, I buy at FSGW.

We have a few gigs coming up, for those what have asked...

March 16 -- A Pyrate Home Companion The Cramer Center 9008 Center Street, Manassas, VA You may infer correctly that we are parodying "Prairie Home Companion" with this one.

April 7 -- Trillium: ADF Spring Gathering Prince William Forest Park, Va.

April 9 National Geographic Society's Explorers Hall 17th St. NW, Washington, DC

April 27, 5 pm -- Southern Md. Celtic Festival Jefferson Patterson Park and Musuem 10515 Mackall Road, St. Leonard, MD.

May 17, 11 am - 1 pm National Geographic Society's Explorers Hall 17th St. NW, Washington, DC

June 7-9, all day Norfolk's Harborfest Norfolk, VA

June 21, 7:30-8:30 pm -- Outdoor Concert at Lake Accotink Park, Va.

June 22, 6 pm -- 1812 Tavern Night Jefferson Patterson Park and Musuem 10515 Mackall Road, St. Leonard, MD.

July 13, 8 pm -- Cerridwen's Coffeehouse Unitarian Universalist Church of Silver Spring .

And there's talk about a gig on St. Paddys day proper...at a Thai restaurant...go figure. I'll not complain, I love Thai food.

Aren't you the Celtic Soul band/promoter that's at mp3.com (good band, too)? Or is that a different Celtic Soul?

From: GUEST,Celtic Soul, sans cookies.

Hesperis... My monicer of "Celtic Soul" is simply a handle for the Mudcat, and has no relation to my bands name. So, no, I am not the person you thought me to be.

I prefer not to spew my name out into the ether, and so chose a nom du plume that sorta represented me musically...I am most attracted to Irish/Scottish music, though unfortunately we do only a couple of pieces.

Sorry for the confusion...I had no idea there *was* a band by that name. :D

CarolC... :::LOL!!::: Sorry, hon, if you're drink du jour has to be had in Canada, and I canna ship it in, yer on yer own. I'd be happy to see if I can get some sent though (if possible)...are you saying they don't export this stuff, or are you saying that it's really the trip you want, and not the water? ;D

Neil - I don't know how far this has gone - or if they have even contacted the Pyrates yet - but I *do* know that work is proceeding on a grant that would be to bring several siging pirate groups to Sterling Renaissance festival. A rather vocal group is pushing to include the Pyrates Royale among the groups if everything can be worked out. Cross your fingers!

Hey Seamus!! Wow, good on ye, Mate! I never really expected to be amongst such fine company, frankly. Like I said, what an honor!

Hope to see ya sometime at some event or other. I personally can't make it out to Harry's to catch your Monday night performances anymore. Way too far from NOVA when the alarm for work blows at Oh-dark-thirty Tuesday morn.

Break a leg!!

Hey Lil' Vanbone, thanks for the Kudos. We're not art (*that's* for certain!!), but we like to have fun...I think that's what keeps us going, and keeps others coming.

Might I know you from MdRF or the like? Hard to tell, considering the monicers (mine included)!

I'd argue about the art - skilled certainly - and there has to be an art to producing as much entertainment as you guys do!

I'm around here and there, I've grown up as part of the Folklore Society of Greater Washington, but only in the last year or so have I really begun to enjoy the music. Between Renfest, concerts, and the Mile I see you all around a fair amount. So who won what awards? I'm excited for you all, Judy, Ships Company, etc...
