Just picked up a ukulele that has been in the cupboard for a couple of years, I'm thinking of getting down with my uke!
I also play(ish) the Northumberland pipes, although I haven't picked them up since I have been farting around with this immigration lark

P18PPS

I like northumberland sausages
or is it cumberland?

ned

That'll be a no then

Been dabbling with the clarinet for years.

Not played for a while, you're right, immigration plays havoc with any good intentions...

Nothumberland pipes eh. I'm from Durham, there doesn't seem to be many others from the NE on here

ned

Durham, second best county in England
I don't do that Tyne and Wear shite

Persephone

yeah Tyne and Wear, not a real county!

Co. Durham second best though? What about equal first?

ned

That's what someone from Co Durham would say

Persephone

Ha, that's what someone from Northumberland would say!

ned

Ok they're Northumbrian pipes.
Honor is satisfied

Be very careful Ned.I picked one up two years ago.Iv'e got five of them now.My favorite is a Resonator( like the shiny guitar off Dire Straits Album).I play a mean version of Live and Let Die.I don't do any George Formby or Tiny Tim.Although I do sing Roxanne(Sting) to the tune of Tiptoe Through the Tulips.Try it .it's a laugh.

Ned, get those pipes out and get playing Go on wake up the neighbours

Time for bed now, appointment with solicitor early tomorrow. Immigration stuff stopping me having a decent lie in now!

Where are all those musicians out there? Can we start a NZ forum band

Tyne wear...

Campbells

You ever heard Davy Spillane ? He plays the Uilleann Pipes and a few other wind inst. He has an album called Pipe Dreams , if you can get it here, it is awesome.

Of course I prefer the bag pipes.

I play the guit and keyboards. Had my own studio for a few years, still got most of the kit, set up in my garage and still write but with a five year old not a`lot of spare time.

Managed to get some new strings for my acoustic and electric in Scotland ( there in Jan) and just need to get my A into G and change put the new Elixars on. For some reason couldn't get them here in NZ and crazy prices on e-bay. 10 squid in UK

I'm rambling

Keep making music mate

If you enjoy the ukulele (ukulele in the Hawaiian language means jumping flea by the way, uku - flea, lele - jump) you may want to get some recordings by Jake Shimabukuro, a ukulele wonder. Highly recommended.

Hubby is musical, he's off to band practice (all-day) in a few. You should get together once you're over. He's a guitarist.
