If you're looking for a session try Alberta St Pub on Friday night after 9 PM. I think Kells and Biddy McGrawshas a Sunday evening session.

Good luck and have fun.

Thanks for the suggestions. Seems the Tullys are no longer in production, according to the website. Fascinated by the Reyburn whistles...looking at the D/C set. I've got an e-mail out to him now. Yes, I suppose "presence" is the more descriptive word rather than "bright". He's be...

Hello harpers

A good resource for new harpers in the Yahoo Harplist http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/Harplist/ Beware of harps on EBay sold under 400.00 most notably the Pakistani harp, which is more for decor than for playing. Better bet is to visit Blevins harps and check their Specials. http://www.cindykle...

Tune search: "Starting All Over Again"

Hope it's okay I put this tune request here.

"Starting All Over Again" by the Battlefield Band.
Can't find notation anywhere online. I just put a request for it on The Session too. It's a lovely, lovely tune and would be great with whistle, harp, fiddle and voice.
