Are you sure there's not a local importer of the Weld-On #16? I'm in Australia and can't import the stuff from Stew Mac in the US, but found a local distributor (a marine supplies shop...

Tony is amazing. He's become a bit of a regular at our National Folk Festival (in Australia). A couple of festivals ago he was part of a celtic "supergroup" with Luke Plumb and Angus Grant from...
Groveland,
Any chance you could post the URL for this page here? I'd be very interested in taking a look (I'm thinking about doing the same thing with my TC zouk).
Cheers,

Hi all,
I recently acquired a Trinity College bouzouki and want to install a strap pin in the heel of the neck, like I have on my mando (slightly blurry image below).
My question is: before I...
Hi MandoNoob,
3mm picks probably aren't all that common! Now I think about it, most people I show it to seem surprised at how thick it is. I don't like it for playing rhythm, but find it's great...
MandoNoob,
Thanks for the heads up! On your recommendation I tried them and love the feel. I have trouble with picks slipping around but the rubber coating is wonderful.
Did you find them a bit...
Kevin,
What can I say? Wow. That opening set of jigs rocks.
Luke's Gilchrist has a lovely sound doesn't it? I had the pleasure of hearing it close up for a few days at a masterclass at the...
Aidan,
Great to see you back. Post-viral thingys are awful; my wife was really crook for ages with one so you have my sympathies. Can't wait to start listening to the tunes!
All the best,

Album sounds great Kevin; can't wait. For those of us on the other side of the world, will you let us know once it's released how we might acquire a copy?
Cheers,
Simon
Hi Jacob,
I dropped you a PM about the Luke Plumb workshop but haven't heard back. I found my recording of it (no promises as to quality!) so if you want a copy send me your snail mail addy and...
Talking of Luke, I did a workshop with him at the National here in Canberra over Easter. Which reminds me - must transfer it from the iPod to the PC.
Very weird coincidence: he taught us a few...
Spitfire,
I'll add my vote for Padraig Carroll's book; it's what I started on.
If you find a good book but it only has notation, there are various music programs (Sibelius for sure and I...
Old Town is probably the rockiest arrangement, although the rest of the album is pretty similar in feel. Lovely version of McGarrigle's Heart Like A Wheel. According to the liner notes, Anthony...
Hiya Nick,
Welcome to the Celtic board, although I should really leave it up to one of the regulars to welcome you. I'm an infrequent poster here. Kids will do that to you, although I'm not...

Great thoughts KE!
I did a workshop with Luke Plumb earlier this year and we touched on this. Luke pulled a wonderful counter melody seemingly from thin air which worked beautifully behind the...
Hi all,
Well, the National Folk Festival is on again over Easter here in Canberra and this year Luke Plumb (Shooglenifty) and James Fagan (The Fagans) are running a combined mandolin/bouzouki...
Heart did BoE on the recent Alive In Seattle DVD/CD; nice version.
Talking of GtC, Zep did some amazing performances of it on their Japanese tour of 71...

Hi all!
My current mandolin is a Davy Stuart LT8: A-shape, oval soundhole, mahogany/spruce with maple trim. Very sweet. Medium action, Gotoh tuners.
Strings are D'Addario J62 (.010 - .014 -...
How very sad! His playing with the Bushwackers was a joy to listen to.
Aidan,
Any chance of putting some more copies of "We'll Seek No More Engagements" up on eBay? The earlier link has expired.
Cheers,
Simon
Sounds like your e-string might be a bit sharp, Dan http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif
G'day all,
Well, it's been a great month for Irish mandolin here in Canberra. A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of seeing Andy Irvine in concert. He only played a couple of songs on the...
Great thread!
I did a workshop with Dave O'Neill, one of Australia's finest mandolin (and guitar, and fiddle...) players a couple of years ago before our National Folk Festival.
Dave covered...
Mutiny, great site!!! Thanks for the tabs.
