Franc, at that level you're way above me! Yes, like trad, enjoy but don't play. As a student I was involved in a folk club that provided copious pints and the odd fiver to such as Al O'Donnell, Donal Lunney, had Horslips play for nothing but the hire fee for their sound gear and although had many of the Ceolteoiri play, never managed better than 7 of the eight Chieftains (that gig cost £40, but that was before Chieftains 3!)

Chief – the CLDS is good IF it is info from their members; however, one has to treat much of the info submitted to them as suspect. Sadly too many people connect links just to get a pedigree. Don’t get me going on the topic, and that of “Family Arms”!!!
Responding/posting late because I was out with my Pedro today, to the detriment of a brace of pheasant. 60-80 knot gusts, so do not ask my cartridge ratio!
