Hi all,
For those who missed it the last time, I’m going to be playing again with the band Quin next Saturday, May 7th at the Plough & Stars in San Francisco. Traditional Irish music on whistle, fiddle, uilleann pipes, flute & guitar, with some songs thrown in.

C’mon down, y’all…You know the cool people will be there.
Justine
And me too!
Cool! 
You’re going to play some songs too? 
you’re allowed to completely ignore me
Umm…is that surpising? I’m not the singer, though, although I’ve been known to sing on occasion after a pint or two.
J.
Wow! I’ve never heard a pint sing. If two sing do they harmonize? 
Sorry 
I had 5 free minutes at lunch and decided to poke a stick at someone. You were the random target. I’ll be nice from now on. cough
Wish I could see the session, but I’m in “The O.C.” - long drive.
Ah, the OC. Where I spent my idle youth…
I could let you know what you need to do to hear a pint sing, but I don’t want to seem like I’m promoting anything illegal.
Justine
You could just call it “alternative therapy.”
Run a wet finger along the rim?
Foreplay with delf?
Bump. See y’all there…
You too?
Hope it goes well for you.
so who’s in the band??
Hey Fel,
Well, we had some lovely solos from BoneQuint on Saturday. It ended up being kind of a crazy night, but it was fun.
The usual suspects include Conall O’Raghallaigh the piper, Kieran Marsden on flute, Tedd “Mr. Wonderful” Colt on guitar, Michael Stack on the fiddle, Doreen O’Reilly singing, and myself on whistle.
J.
P.S. Thanks to all who came out!
Next gig at the Plough is June 4th.
It was a fun show and a good night! I liked the variety – different instrumentation, and a fair amount of songs thrown into the mix. The folks sitting next to me said, “she has a nice voice” when the whistle-player sang a song (and I agree). The guitar was a bit loud in the mix for me though. Although not when he was fingerpicking along to a song. I guess it’s the pick’s fault. I had fun doing a little bit of rattling, and the bodhrán player who sat in on a tune was quite good.
Aww, thanks.
Yeah, I think we need to work on the mixing a bit…there has been some talk of spending some money to get better equipment, cause some of the mikes are not working too well, especially Michael’s.
It was definitely a good night, though! Great crowd.
Justine
sounds like fun was had by all. Hope to see you NCal folks soon
You should be ashamed for not bringing your pipes up there Justine, even if just for one tune! So no more excuses next time, bring the pipes!
Discretion is the better part of valor.
Damn Stout, you sound like a wise man now. What happened to you in SF in the past few months? Had many “pigeon” experiences? Hehehe…
