16 Jul 02 - 08:19 AM (#748801) Subject: Chris Newman and Maire From: Midchuck Chris posted the following to the Flatpick-L list when he meant to send it to his UK mailing list. I thought it might get to a few more UK people if I cross-posted it here. Chris is very irritating to listen to if you play guitar, because he raises the bar beyond the reach of normal people, but I keep going back anyway. I suspect Maire has the same effect on Irish harpers. Peter. ************************************************* Just a line to let you know that Máire Ní Chathasaigh (Irish harp) and Chris Newman (guitar) are playing this month at the following venues: Tue 16 Dartford Folk Club 01322 222553

After hearing them for a few moments, I realized there has never been a human being who touched a guitar that played better then Chris Newman. He is simply supberb! Beautiful music. |

I had the priviledge of hearing Chris and Beppe Gambetta doing a workshop together at Old Songs....absolutely amazing. It was the first time they'd ever played together too, with the exception of maybe 10 minutes at Old Songs 3 years ago. Sandy |

His O'Carolan CD with the divine harper I always refer to as "Mary the Unpronounceable" is a constant in the CD sixpack in my car - an instant cure for road rage! Try it - for whatever reason, but try it. Alan
