ITS" GOOD TO SEE SO MANY FOLKS
INTERESTED IN THE
WHISTLE!

Welcome to C&F…
What took you so long??

I don’t know.It must have been those
bloody pipes.They’re kind of a
distraction.

Must have been the pipes…
Come visit us on the C&F Uilleann Pipe forum, your input is welcomed.

Phil Hardy.

Well, if it isn’t Mr. McSherry himself?!?! Welcome. We need more of your type around here :wink:
Are you and Michael (or you alone) planning on making it out to Boston one of these days? As I’m sure you know, Boston is basically “little-Ireland” and there are all sorts of folks who would be delighted to see you here. I’m sure a gig at the Burren would be no problem to set-up and would draw quite a crowd. There was a concert a month or so ago featuring Tommy Peoples (who lives here now), Seamus Connoly, Paddy Cronin, Tommy McCarthy, Danny Meehan, Laurel Martin and Larry Reynolds. The place was packed to the rafters and who should decide to drop in for the show but the gang from Altan, as well as Paddy Keenan and Peter Molloy (who works there and speaks highly of you), and a number of other fine musicians. It was a mighty concert and an even mightier session afterwards.
You really, really ought to think about coming out here for a visit this Summer. Boston is gorgeous during the summer and the music is superb.
Welcome and don’t be a stranger!
All the best,
Chris Laughlin

Welcome! Tell us, what whistles do you play? :slight_smile:

Cheers lads.I’ve been to Boston
a few times before and had a few pints
in the Burren.Great place!Myself and
Mike are hoping to get out there soon.It’ll
probably be after the Summer though.
Give my regards to Peter when you see
him next ’ As for the whistles,I play a
variety of
Overtons and Phil Hardys.

Well Phil,hope all is well!
I’m just after sending you an
e-mail there.Hope you get it.

Dia dhuit, John! Welcome to the Board!

As a proud owner of Clannad’s “Landmarks” album, I can say that “Of this Land” is one of the high points (and I’m not just saying this because I’m talking to you). Anto Drennan adds some very nice guitar and Maire’s voice is outstanding on this piece (no other girl can hit those low notes like that). Then there’s those whistles and pipes! :smiley:

By the way, I also like Altan, Steeleye Span, and Capercaillie, and many others besides.

Make yourself at home and take courage in the fact that you’re among fans and friends here!

Take care,
BB

Hey Mr. McSherry, its a long shot but I sure hope you and Michael McGoldrick swing by around Singapore someday!
