Tell us something.: I've picked up the tinwhistle again after several years, and have recently purchased a Chieftain v5 from Kerry Whistles that I cannot wait to get (why can't we beam stuff yet, come on Captain Kirk, get me my Low D!)

Cheers!

We've got a pub here called Piper Down, so y'd never be able to play here! :P

I've never had to come up with an ITM name before, tho could be interesting, considering the aforementioned combo lists! :P


I've never actually been involved in a serious ITM band, just a lot of rock bands, so my previous band names would never even fit an ITM band; Some of my bands have been "Mindsprain" (old school punk), "Malevolence" (Heavy Metal), "Flickering Candle" (Celtic influenced Goth Metal), and my current bands "Plan 9" (Misfits cover band) and "Rubicon" (Journey cover band).

"Band to be Named Later"

The recently departed general manager of the red sox calls his charitable foundation the "Foundation to be Named Later" after the baseball trade concept of a player to be named later.

Actually, "Players to be Named Later" ain't bad for a band.

I've always liked the name
Free Beer.

That way, when the club you're playing posts a bill announcing your gig, you're sure to get attendees:
TONIGHT AT The Tap: FREE BEER!
:lol:

I have always thought that Stout Breakfast would make a great band name... I still might use it someday, unless you beat me to it.

Cool name for a band, however, max isn't a lab. He is a mixed breed, but looks and acts very much like a Pudelpointer
