Just in case you might miss these, I've just added a whole bunch of new Banjo YouTubes, by Annie and Mac.
See Nos 31 to 48 ... yup, they've been busy!

We just got the following friends request on the bands myspace site. I the above video was in there too. A heck of a lot of old banjo stuff:

[Ptarmigan]

Yup Jesper, I got that one too, for our MySpace here & of course I immediately accepted them.

That's where I found the Scott Didlake YouTube video.

Cheers
Dick

P.S. Have you guys finished recording yet?

[deleuran]

We have finished recording. Now there are some mastering to do, and then the hard work with printing distributing and all the other practical things involved in this sort of things.

[Ptarmigan]

I just added these three to our list ... thanks to the BHO.

Cheers

'Ducks on the Millpond' in the Curfew Tower, Glens of Antrim

Lucky you Dick with all that music around. But that's "Ducks on the Millpond" - of course the way tune names get around you never can tell...

Hunter

[Ptarmigan]

Thanks Hunter.

I'm sure your right.

I probably just picked them up wrongly.

Cheers
Dick

Moot point now anyway that the "National Council of Elders has unanimously voted to end the long-problematic practice of using words to name old-time fiddle tunes"
