Having only met, or even seen one of them, I can't speak for the other two. The one I have met is loveliest of the lovely...and the world's number one best cuddler! Hopefully I shall be meeting the other two on February 10th!!

Love Lynne

What are they like then this CARA lot, as I plan to go and see them at Market Rasen Folk Club on the 25th March 2005.
Can somebody tell me more about them?

Oak is my friend. Love the group's sound. Haven't met t'other fellows, but I am a fan.

"No question, they are both faire of visage, bonny of mien and fine of voice!!!"

I am not quite sure what this means, but Amos never said a nasty thing in his life, so I'll second the motion.

I'm not at all sure about lovely...perhaps that has a different meaning on the east side of the pond, but their music sure is nice.

aint bad! They are great, just listen to the music. Oh and I wonder how long it will take the GUEST that usually has a go at Cara threads, to have a go at this one....judging by the timing of that particular GUESTs postings, I believe it was someone in US trying to wind us up. Anyway...I'm off to listen to a couple of Cara tracks before bed. Take care all and Best wishes, Mike.

SL Had a look at Oakley's website. Is that what Oakley looks like. I imagined him to be somewhat more mature in age with a big goatey :-)

I don't know how big his goatey is, but he sure can play.

Well I imagined him to have a Goatey a bit like the ones ZZ Top sported. :-)

Every time I try to look at Oak's website it says I've 'performed an illegal operation' and shuts everything down. Does this say something about my computer, Oakey's website or Oak himself I wonder?

Love Lynne

Ever since the Paddy Keenan/Arty McGlynn LP "Poirt An Phíobaire" (1983)I've loved pipes/guitar combo playing. The ocassional use those together by Moving Hearts and Davy Spillane are joys too.

So, lovley Lads, which of the samples on the site are examples of this combination of instruments. If I like, I'll buy the CD ;-D

Track one on Long Forgotten contains what your heart desires, perhaps.

Wrinkles - you WILL "like/thoroughly enjoy/sit back and relax to" the Long Forgotten cd.
Waste no more time. It's delightful.I posted this on another thread in Dec.
"The waterfall of guitar strings lets this masterpiece flow restfully and tho' I'd prefer a 'nice bottle of Red', I find this a soothing accompaniment to ease away the ironing, the writing of letters, the thoughts of what has been and what's to come. I've floated along and just about worn out the CD. Don't ask for a favourite track, it is a complete work of emotion, sensitivity and soul. Wonderful guitar, exceptional fiddle and haunting pipes and whistles,enough said.

Is that correct what I hear, that CARA played out the very good Tsunami event at Grimsby last saturday?

They may look lovely but you wouldn't want to get anywhere near Oakley's crevices without some dettol & a wire brush! Don't know about the others, they keep themselves to themselves!

And Cara are playing at our Tsunami event in North West Leicestershire on Feb 10th!
