I live in a city where there is not a single outlet for traditional music. The isolation can become highly frustrating. So, forgive me chancing this … c/f is one of the only outlets available to me. I just felt like sharing a few tunes…thank you for listening.

Just be aware that not everyone may be able to access your SoundCloud tracks unless you make them downloadable as well.
it should stream, yes?
Not without the right Javascript. I’m being … persnickity. 
You are forgiven. Wonderful and thanks.
Perhaps the isolation has been good for you. You sound great!

More a version of the Yellow Wattle isn’t it?
What have you tried doing, to create a local outlet? If its futile, I totally get it ! but Im curious as to what steps youve taken, ‘off-line’…to change the situation?
I’ll take your word for it, Peter…Thank you. I’m quite terrible with tune titles!!!
I was expecting the reel so thee was an element of surprise there in my response.
I listened to the clip and played it so I must have at least the tune before. Is it the version JOBM played on the Piper’s Rock?
wow my friend, that sounded brilliant to me! Isolation has done wonders for your playing.
Lovely stuff. Keep it up.
Very nice playing.
I agree, isolation and frustration are doing you no real harm. The tunes sound great man.
Thank you everyone for the VERY encouraging (and humourous) remarks! That was good medicine for the frustration. Perhaps, sometime in the future I’ll post some others… (?)
Peter, I’m really going to have to figure out where I got that from now… II heard it mannnny times before I ever learnt it. I thought that perhaps Ennis played it? Is it also on Dickie Deegan’s record(?).. but it was Harry Bradley’s playing that got me off my arse to learn it.
Thanks again!
Wonderful stuff, very inspiring. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, Phil.
I don’t think I addressed Chas’ question re: organizing a session. *
*Forgive the oblique description re: names. *
Where I live, there are only 2 other traditional Irish musicians, both are simply “not available” to play for one reason, or another. That leaves only myself.
Another factor here is that simply, there’s only 2 Irish pubs here that could host trad music, simply won’t. It’s all about selling drinks (of course), can you bring in an audience, and of course…the now ever prevalent, will you play for free. Because of THAT aspect, I can’t get 1 of the 2 musicians, out to play (the other musician simply will not play in pubs here).
The good news is I heard about a sessiun about 2.5hrs north… 
interesting. may i be so bold to offer a coupla suggestions?
Why aim for just the pub? & does it have to be a “real” session situation?
Is there an arts center, church, school, civic group, galleries, import shop, funeral home, social club, or a certain “3-letter-long” fraternal organization, that would be interested? Not that im anything special of a player , but Ive piped in all these kinda joints. One never knows what unlikely situatons can turn up. for ex;
Few years back I had a run of Uilleann gigs for the Lutheran Ladies sewing circle. Talk about networks. I ended up hitting every church in their diocese, they really dug it & it paid well. whodve figured that?
& why wait for another ITM player to hop on? Go on & try to corrupt some equally frustrated flamenco guitarist & start a new genre 
Apologies if youve gone down these roads. Being one of oh, about 8 (?) US Zampognari, and 1 of (maybe? )3 Cornemuseux,
…Im totally sympatico with the frustration part. 
It might help if your town changed its name from “Boobyville”.
If you’ve ever been to Miami, you’d understand that Boobyville is quite the appropriate name! It has many pluses, and some minuses too.
