Hiya, Whilst i've been away from home Jen has been getting together with a guitar player and putting some stuff together, she's already got a few gigs lined up.
Anyway here's the link if anybody wants to have a listen.....

And if you need chearing up afterwards, here's a link to a online free game called Bauns, which is excellent and makes your eyes bleed.

Great stuff, Peter, Jen & Jimmy : exactly my sort of music.  Only listened to "Crazyman Michael" so far, but "Fields of Athenry" will be next, as that is absolutely one of my favourites.  The best version I know is the one linked from "In Callandar" : http://www.incallander.co.uk/music/fields of athenry.wav.  I used to know who sung this version, but it escapes me at this moment ...

When are they touring deepest Kent, Peter ?

Thanks on behalf of Jen
Dunno when she'll get to Southern England, she was supposed to be up on the north coast last thursday for 5 days, gigging two or three pubs but snow got in the way.
I'll let her know about this thread and get her to come in and reply
Yep she'll pop in as soon as she can.

many bands sing it, practically every irish/scots folk band has done a version. the dubliners version i think is one of the best, bands that also have a version are the corries, drop kick murphys, wolftones and the scottish wolfstones

But do you recognise who is singing in the one linked from "In Callandar", Jimmy ?  I'm sure I used to know his name, but for the life of me I can't remember it.

That's why I had to hack it several times    The BB  s/ware (quite reasonably) doesn't like spaces in URLs, and your reply pre-dates my final hack !

P.S. Listened to the Dubliner's version (I had heard it before, but wanted to refresh my memory) and whilst I agree that it is more professional, I think that the Callandar guy is more sincere -- he really tells the tale as if he witnessed it.
