When I play my bodhran I have trouble gripping after awhile and the tipper starts to slip from my hand. Anyone have any tips as to what I can do help this? Are there grips I can slip onto the tipper? Thanks.

Love the movie...saw it at the Seattle film festival...one of my favorite movies.

Its a shame as I always looked forward to watching the Rosie O'Donnell show back in the day but then she started to open her mouth about politics and I stopped listening to her. She's slowly but surely losing her audience...not to mention her career. She has a right to her own opinions but she doesn...

Okay so I absolutely love traditional Irish music as does my future husband and plan on having the band, Crumac, play at our wedding reception, July 7th. Although I am familiar with many Irish tunes (and also play the whistle) I know absolutely nothing on dancing when it comes to dancing to Irish mu...

Thanks for the info. That was all I needed to know.

On the Best of the Chieftains album, what is the tune name in Sea Image? I can't tell if it is a variation of different tunes or just one tune.

Thank you!

That's a good bit of advice chief - I used to walk round and round my house playing my guitar to learn things - I'll give the TV thing a go - better-yet I'll read COntraversial topics on C&F! BTW Silverstrand - where are you sourcing Exiles-Jig? The only bits I can find online seem to be wrong ...

Is it just me or do you have your good and bad days when playing your whistle? I have gotten down the Exile's Jig and in the excitement of getting down all the notes, I played it over and over again yesterday...almost flawlessly. I was craving to play that tune today at work but, alas, when I get ho...

Hey All!

I was just curious as to what tunes are being played in the Kilfernora Set played by the Chieftains.

Thank you!

I have never touched a string instrument so this hte first time i have handled a violin...have no clue how to get started. I bought it for my sister so she can start learning trad tunes. But it isn't playing at all. Being someone who isn't a master at the string instrument how do you actually make s...

The topic title speaks for itself. I have grown especially fond of Ceili music and have been searching on the internet for Ceili bands. But what sets Ceili music apart from any trad Irish music? I have looked for a website that explains Ceili music and how it is distinguished from other forms of tra...

I really like how there is a tune list available! However, I don't have the courage quite yet to partake in a session. It probably would take a few beers....

Thanks for the link! As soon as I have enough confidence in my playing I may have to check it out.

Yeah they sing the song before the other tune plays...I like that song as well!

I haven't read the book but I love the film...it's great!

Thanks for the link, there was a downloadable version of the tune on the provided site.

I have a lot to thank Phil for as well!

I've got a lovely Kerry Songbird, great strong sound!
