24 Aug 04 - 09:45 PM (#1255863) Subject: RE: Folklore: AUSSIE-GIRL MUDCAT MEMBER WHISTLE PLAYER From: Bob Bolton G'day FIDDLE-4, Was that Alison? (Although she sounds pretty Irish to us Aussies - being from County Down - but she probably starts to sound Australian to the Irish!) Alison plays whistles - as well as piano accordion and bodhran (and a few other odd instruments) ... I don't know if she was back on the old peat, at that time. Regards, Bob Bolton |

25 Aug 04 - 07:46 AM (#1256134) Subject: RE: AUSSIE-GIRL MUDCAT MEMBER WHISTLE PLAYER From: FIDDLE-4 I think it was the girl called alison. she played me one of her own tunes a -reel, she was with some relations,,her husband/boy-friend played bodhran the lighter may have been his,it had a geen shamrock on the front., Matties is an old name for that bar,if the girl in question remembers being at sessions around larne.- town,she's must be the one.This session was through the day at 3.00 or 4.00 starting.. She had to go up to belfast that night with her relation's. I think this was her last day in Ireland. Also I think I've stopped shouting. |

26 Aug 04 - 09:25 AM (#1257262) Subject: RE: AUSSIE-GIRL MUDCAT MEMBER WHISTLE PLAYER From: Peter K (Fionn) Well by now I'm exceedingly curious.... Alison, do the details that fit include that you or your boyfriend lost a lighter? If so, the one that FIDDLE-4 has must surely be yours. Unless it's a Dunhill or Davidoff, in which case it is probably mine. Or a solid-gold S.T. Du Pont, in which case it's definitely mine. If you didn't get to Mattie's near Larne, did you at least make it to The Meeting House, Cairncastle? (Which is the same place.) Anyway, FIDDLE-4, who do YOU think is the lighter's rightful owner? Who is you claim to have found? And by the way, I know who you are now. You played a nice tune on my whistle 2-3 years ago (at Billy Andy's, which have been intending to re-visit ever since). |

27 Aug 04 - 08:47 AM (#1258128) Subject: RE: AUSSIE-GIRL MUDCAT MEMBER WHISTLE PLAYER From: Peter K (Fionn) Sir John, I'll watch out for Mick when I'm over there. It's "South Ireland" as you put it (which also has the most northern bit) where smoking in public places is banned. So Alison would have been entirely within her rights smoking in Northern Ireland. I bet she wishes she hadn't been so quick to disown that lighter. |

27 Aug 04 - 09:46 PM (#1258609) Subject: RE: AUSSIE-GIRL MUDCAT MEMBER WHISTLE PLAYER From: alison OK... well lets get this straight then..... is it a good lighter?.... I mean... if its the gold plated one Fionn think it is.. maybe it is mine!!! especially if it has a few diamonds in it... it wasn't hiding underneath that 100 pound note I think I left in a pub somewhere near Larne????? *grin* slainte alison |
