West Dublin Ballad/trad group

squelly

Anyone out there interested in starting a three piece ballad group. Looking for a strong whistle player, and a 2nd guitar/mandolin with vocals to share the vocal responsibility.

Looking for musicians in the west Dublin area preferrably. Gigging exp a bonus but not essential. Want to play a mainly ballad/folk type setup with a mix of good trad sets in between.

if this sounds like your thing, get in touch..........Cheers.

squelly

bumping this up, as you can see I have had loads of responses and worked with several to date, only problem is everyone seems to have fingers in several pies. So its a nightmare trying to organise and commit to gigs.

So I am looking for a committed person to this project alone. If interested please pm with as much info as possible, your experience, where your based, transport, instrument/s you play. I am looking for someone who can share the vocals, and back ballads and play jigs and reels.

please dont reply if your looking for casual filler gigs.

cheers
