Just received this in an e-mail from Hammy Hamilton:

Cruinniú Na bhFliúit..The Flute Meeting

Announcing a 3 day event celebrating the wooden flute and it’s music. Running from April 20th-22nd 2006, in the West Cork villages of Baile Bhuirne and Cúil Aodha it will consist of focussed classes, seminars, recitals, film, lectures, and ending with a gala flute concert on Sat. 22nd.
Featuring Jean Michel Veillon, Harry Bradley, Paul McGrattan, Hammy Hamilton, Conal O Grada, Harry Bradshaw, and more to be confirmed.
We hope to have a website up and running shortly, but I’d ask anyone interested to mail me directly for the moment, and I’ll send the full program and booking form in an E-Mail circular, in the first week of January.
In order to maintain a high level of accessability between participants and teachers/lecturers numbers will be restricted.
All the Best
Hammy Hamilton

Peter,
I received Hammy's announcement too and just sent off a reply asking ...naw....begging him to record some of the recitals/concerts in order to release a CD of the event. It's impossible for most of us to attend but wouldn't a CD be a popular item considering the line-up of players Hammy has attending?

Hi All,

I second that! A CD would be very good -- the more flute CDs the better!

I got the same email, and, by dint of great effort, managed not to email him back asking if a certain former Scoiltrad Person who is listed in his lineup actually intended to honor his committment . . .

I can imagine going all the way to Ireland for this only to have your scheduled instructor not show up . . .

So is there anyone here who actually is coming to the weekend in question? I just managed to pay my deposit two days ago and would like to know if any of the other 29 lucky participants would be users of this board...

Yet you did not hesitate at all to post a comment here for public viewing.

The way some of you guys seem to react to each other, I'm kinda hopeful none of you are going. I've met politics in every job I've had, I'd be naive to expect to not meet it in this meeting, I just didn't want to know about it before I went.

i won't be going, apparently

Gotta love these in jokes. Me, I'll be cancelling my ticket tomorrow.

Harry · Post by **Harry** » Fri Feb 10, 2006 6:28 pm

Now that you mention it I've changed my mind too. It is now apparent that I am not going and will be replaced by Pruntious Mac Natsee, the well known Ulster Scots loyalist ultra right wing christian extreemist wife hating anti semetic pigeon and seal clubbing fancier.

Damn fine flute player though... enjoy him.

Regards,

Harry.
