My name is far more popular in the States than it is at home, even my surname gets a look in. I was named after my grandmother, in 1961. I knew one other Emily growing up. Now it's #1. I know several Emilys', one being my cousin. When I was in primary school, I was in the same class as three other g...

Came across this while doing a bit of research. God help me but I find this type of thing interesting! Also see if you can spot the poet

Hope I did that right.

The Beach Boys - esp Pet Sounds
Nine Inch Nails
Janes Addiction
Husker Du
Pixies
Anything by Brahms or Beetoven
Faith No More
Have to agree with Rubber Soul and Revolver by the Beatles
and anything by Tom Waits

It would also be nice to have the young Rolling Stones/Led Zep back

Myself and the better-half are going.
I hadn't realised it was on till I went to book tickets for Flook. They'll be two very different nights methinks.

Thanks lads! :D I had a bad week of practice and it felt like I was going backwards a little. I slowed down today during a two hour practice and got the rhythm and 'lift' just right - by the end I was able to build up the speed a little. :) I recently broke my wifes metronome :oops: , so its a sensi...

Peter is right, they start in third class, use ABC's and no tweaks are required. :) In more disadvantaged schools, there is a budget to buy each student a whistle (usu. a Gen) and replace it after inevitable accidents. These schools also seem to be more consistent in providing lessons than schools i...

A quick question for you. I've been practicing in earnest (i.e. 40 mins per day as opposed to 10 mins every two days) for the past two months and I'm having trouble with combining speed and rhythm. Specifically, when I play along with Na Connerys The Session on track 6 - a Mazurka I know as 'Rachel ...

In terms of 'serious' careers, I've been an Economist (what i'm qualified to do) and a researcher in Dublin, but could not live away from my wife for 5 days a week so I changed career into Accountancy and moved home. As you may have heard, accountancy is a boring career, so I'm going back to univers...

I remember learning about the Battle of Thermapolae (spelling??) in school and always thought it would transfer well to the screen. It's a fairly decent adaptation of the graphic novel (roll on Sandman the Movie) and is loosly based on history with style more than accuracy to the fore. Its a bit fas...

Hi Blackfire, I'm a relative noob myself but I can pass on a few tips I picked up from my instructor. :wink: When you are starting, try to blow in a relatively continuous stream of air - tonguing is usually avoided as a beginner but can be brought in for variety by a more experienced player. You may...

If the recipient understands you the communication was effective!

I showed my wife all of your comments and she's agreed - so I've just emailed Chis Abell with my order.
Many thanks for all of your help

Now, if I could just start a Sports Car thread

As the Tv and supermarkets are increasingly making obvious, Christmas is on the way! :party: Not that I needed any reminding, as I've been dropping subtle and not-so-subtle hints to Mrs Q that I'd like a 'nice' whistle for christmas. I'm thinking of an Abell D - one of the few expensive whistles I'v...
