ALL KINDS OF MUSIC
From my main current musical endeavours with the Irish pub
band kiss the blarney and the
traditional barn dance and ceilidh Lifeboat
Band, all the way back to the start of the whole thing singing solo round
the folk clubs with a guitar, via the odd sidestep into cajun with Sack the
Fiddler, zydeco with Swamp Fever and a
whole stack of dance bands from the original Fiddle
Band and the much celebrated Titanic
Disaster Band...
Here they all are, together with a few musical snippets. Just
click on the "Rest of the Music" link and Bob's your uncle.
Somebody's, anyway. For kiss the blarney or the
Lifeboat Band, hit the buttons on the left!

AND UPDATE YOUR BOOKMARK
At the moment, I call traditional country dances for a number
of barn dance and ceilidh bands, mostly round Cheshire - the usual suspects
being Chris Perry's Peakfolk,
the Northwich based band Madcap and
Chester band Three Point Turn. But I turn up every now and then in
unexpected places, depending on who phones me up and when.
Most weekends I'm out with kiss the blarney. playing
fiddle, mandolin, sax, melodeon and flute (plus a bit of guitar and the odd
song) - all the old Irish chorus songs and some of the cracking new songs that
have started appearing from bands such as the Waterboys and the Saw
Doctors. And one or two of mine. The first CD comes out something
later this year (which, in case I never get round to updating the site again, is
2009!).
I can be contacted at either arthur@barndancer.co.uk
or at arthurm@zetnet.co.uk
if you are interested in any of the various musical wotsits mentioned here or
elsewhere on the site.
* Zetnet, which has been my email address and ISP for as long as
I have been connected to the internet, appears to be going through a difficult
phase. This site was originally at www.users.zetnet.co.uk/barndancer
but Zetnet has been bought by a company called Breathe and seems to be falling
apart at the seams.
