That bouzouki looks lovely Ultra. I'd really, really like a bouzouki some day, but first I'd want a mondolin, and before that moar guitars. Can you play? We ought to do something for the Shortscale Compilation, with you on bouzouki, and me on erhu. I appreciate that the erhu isn't a Korean instrument, but then the bouzouki isn't really Irish, so I reckon we'd get away with it.
That's sounds like a great idea, how about a cover tune like the others in Chirish Irenese fashion? I'll lay down a bedtrack of Bouzouki/mandolin, letcha track Erhu/guitar etc, and I'll cap things off with tin whistle/uilleann pipes over here at the end. I'll be all over that.
By the way, I think you're talking about Paul Brady. I'm sure many would agree that his album with Andy Irvine is an absolute classic (Andy Irvine and Paul Brady: 1976) , and was one of my main influences while learning riffs on the pipes years back. Sweet melodies, chiming guitars and eight stringers galore.
Yeah, that sounds good. I didn't realise you were a whistler/piper too. I play a bit of flute, but not so much these days. I used to play in a group that'd play sessions, but that was when I was a youngster, and I haven't really played in anger in a long time. It'd be cool if we could get someone to lay down a but of bodhran on it too.ultratwin wrote:BacchusPaul wrote:

When do you want to get this started? It'll take me a while to get handy on the erhu, as I have little idea how to play, beyond the odd article I've found online.
