Violin/Fiddle Needed for Trad Irish Group Forming

Buckeye AZ

Description

Hey musicians! I'm trying to see if I can put together a group to play traditional Irish and Celtic standards by bands like The Pogues, The Dubliners, Irish Rovers, The Chieftains and the like. This music is a blast to play and it's perfect for parties and events. Particular players I'm looking for include: violin/fiddle, bass (stand-up would be excellent but electric's not a deal-breaker), an accordion/concertina, Irish pipes and tin whistle would be cool (though probably tough to find - perhaps flute or a keyboardist with those sounds?), banjo, mandolin, bouzouki, autoharp, dulcimer, percussion (hand perc, cajon, badhran, snare, small kick setup, etc), and of course, vocalists. Other instruments??? It would be great to have both male and female players - multi-instrumentalists are golden. Myself, I play guitars and sing. I already have an extensive songlist made up with charts and lyrics for all the songs. Previous experience playing Irish music would be nice, but it's not mandatory. All that really matters is that you're competent on your instrument(s), have at least some performance experience and want to have some fun. We all have a little Irish in us, so dust off those instruments and warm up those voices, this is going to be a very fun project. I'm located in Sun City Festival, just west of Surprise. Message me if you're interested and we'll talk! Thanks!
