Being a serious lurker, I once more logged myself in here to post a tiny question (and I couldn’t resist the Eric Fish-thread either g):
I am starting up a mailorder for folk / folk-crossover (including medieval music, folkmetal etc) music / bands. Re-selling and making of band merchandise will be our “milking cow”, but I would also be able to offer instruments, though cheap ones, for those who are interested in trying to learn to play. When it comes to pennywhistles, I have contacted Generations, but I don’t know where to find bodhráns… (And I cannot imagine other instruments that will fit in there.) Can anyone offer help?
The instruments should not be too expensive, but also playable.
noy sure what you mean by cheap
but Brendan White makes great bodhráns and he’s great crack as well.
and he lives here in the netherlands so it’s not that far from you.
Well I got to know the business and I got to know the ropes;
And I got to know the geniuses and got to know the dopes
I know the oxymorons who perpetuate the joke
That there is something known in music as the “cutting edge of folk.”
Yes there’s something known in music as the “cutting edge of folk.”
Well I’ve heard of drive-through parking and I’ve heard of jumbo shrimp.
I’ve heard of outlet entrances and boats made of cement.
There’s cold soup and hot chili and skunks without a scent;
But if folk has got a cutting edge then I’m the President.
Yes if folk has got a cutting edge then I’m the President.
chorus:
But now I’m too fun for the folkies, but too folkie for the Times,
I don’t think I will change my music just to change their minds.
I’d rather kiss success goodbye than kiss the right behinds;
And be too funky for the folkies and too folkie for the Times.
