WOW.

Let me say that again;

WOW!

This is fantastic stuff. I can’t believe I haven’t seen this until now.

Thanks for the heads up, made me smile.

I agree. Wow. Thanks for that Hans.

Wouldn’t you just love to be a part of something like that?

And thanks for the pointer to that fabulous Quebecois website. I’m going to enjoy exploring that. Makes a change from the usual English, Scots and Irish stuff. :slight_smile:

Those are fun. I love how musicians and dancers pop up on every balcony. I’ll watch more later.

I still enjoy rewatching Mission #1. They certainly get a better response than Joshua Bell in the DC Metro who didn’t even get one red farthing for all his effort.

Hi hans

They are great fun aren’t they

Mission 6

Thanks, Hans, for posting the youtube link. I posted it on my facebook page and immediately got a thumbs up from a friend in Russia.

Only massive! Great stuff indeed.

Commando Trad has a lot to answer for,

Liverpool Folk Ambush

These are really, really fun! I love Mission 5 and the huge numbers of people involved. I checked out Mission 6, which is from this summer, and saw someone I know among the musicians! Even cooler! :smiley: He’s the young fiddler with lots of hair.

Young, fiddler and hair… three things that rule me out! :laughing:

Impressive yet again. Thanks Hans.

Thanks, Hans, for sharing the link of Commando Trad. The filming at night was very nice, starting with the pre-event indoor meeting in a cavernous space. I especially enjoyed the chanting on the second part of the video.

I think these are pretty cool, I just hope I never find myself surround by 50 members of a Commando Captain & Tennille impersonators singing Muskrat Love.
