Wonderful CD by Kevin, played it a few times now, stellar line up and a great mix of Waltzs, Marches, Reels & Jigs. 'The Scottish Horse Marches' has become a firm favourite as has the stirringly...
I'm extremely happy with mine and I know Joel McDermott is with his and Andy Boden with his. Very underrated builder imho and a great person to deal with. Paul just showed me some pics of a 10...
It's there Scott, just that when I press play I only get the first second of it for some reason. I'll check my settings but I have the latest flash installed.......
Hi Andy, you soundcloud link isn't working for me........hope you are enjoying your Shippeys......
Andy, fantastic, What a Xmas present !!!!! You have got your Shippey at last and it's as expected. You will have lots of fun with that maple.
Have to agree with Dave here, nobody better than Paul,...
No probs Eddie, I'll see you in there on the 10th.....
I'm willing to meet up Eddie, I should be ok after work, although I have done a lot of overtime lately, I can make that evening free. Where were you thinking of going in the West End? Generally the...

Great stuff Kevin, we are still murdering Ron Raines Reel by the "Coigachmeister"! I'll try and get them to do another one. Expensive but a Glidecam HD2000 is your answer for steady...
Because I'm from that side of the Pennines, I'd have to say Manchester Hornpipe aka Ricketts Hornpipe. For my friends on t'other side I would choose the Sheffield Hornpipe..........
Very sad news, I always sought out John McGann's views on things, knowledgeable, to the point and a great member of this community who will be sadly missed. My condolences to his family, students...
Great album Dagger, really love it.....

A great resource, fantastic it's available now......
Fantastic Nigel, thanks for sharing.....
I am sad to report that Martin Jenkins passed away last month in Sofia Bulgaria. As far as I'm concerned, he simply was one of the best mandolinists from this side of the pond and unfortunately I...
Another Britsh treasure from the early 70's, Dando Shaft, featuring the great Martin Jenkins, who went on to play with Bert Jansch and Dave Swarbrick.....

Happy Birthday! Have a fantastic day and thanks for all the great work you do.
I was only made aware of this thread today by Joel, it was no big deal, just a thank you for all the help and tips to a novice really, I can't do my Shippey's justice to the way Joel McDermott can...
The book is great and the CD's are great, look forward to the new one.....
I was wondering if anyone has any experience with external mics for cameras (Nikon, Canon, Pentax, Sony, etc). As a stopgap, I have bought a Nikon P7000 with a 3.5 jack input for an external stereo...
I'd recommend Tom Anderson's book 'Ringing Strings' which contains Da Slockit Light as well as a few other 'Da' tunes...... http://www.footstompin.com/products/books/ringing_strings_book
Bertram the valium is required because trying to keep them in check is a nightmare, it's like a day at the races and they all want to get past the finishing post first!!!!!! I did offer Joel my...
Thanks for the kind words Mary, glad you liked Joel's vids. I could never reach that level but we have a lot of fun with our group....
