From: Frank Nordberg [EMAIL PROTECTED] It is. I'm planning to hook it up with Irish Rover (stole that idea from somewhere - don't remember who). Let's if anybody in the audience can manage to stay seated through that combo ;-) I can't remember what song we (as residents at the Llandudno Folk Club) used to follow with the Rakes of Mallow but the first group I remember hearing doing it was a duo called Drops Of Brandy who were based (I think) in Mold and did a bit around North Wales. One of them was a tenor banjo player so it seemed a natural idea for me to nick when I started playing the same instrument (although in the end, I most often played that one on G/D melodeon). The game was always to see if you could speed it up and play faster than the audience could clap. It seems a bit silly looking back but it was fun at the time.

I was trying to think of the song we followed it with rather than a tune pairing but, yes, that seems to be a common set and one that I have played many times in sessions. Must be about 4 years since I last played them though - since moving to Norfolk, the sessions I've been attending have been Irish jigs/reels type sessions. Must try to get out one night to an anything goes session. To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
