Love your bands name, Manxman! Have fun in Switzerland for us folk stuck stateside.

Eamon

We are all from the Isle of Man, but two of us moved off island. For some years we played only in "The Mitre" Pub on the Isle of Man when we were able to visit. Hence "Stationary", the band didn't travel.

Recently we seem to have hit it in Switzerland, and have had two tours there and a CD released. We're still stuck with the name though.

If the "Travelling Willburys" complain, we'll just quote it in gaelic. "Stashoon y wil brys"

Regards

I am from Germany, half irish and soon 41 years old now. I finally managed to switch on Celticradio /Highlanderradio on my PC.

In younger years (hehe) I had my own irish and american folk band in Germany, then married in Peru and it meant bye-bye to gaelic-scottish-irish culture..lol. Now backin Germany with my son. We both love this radio and are especially fans of Runrig and Wolfestone. We love most of the songs played here!!

Myhobbies beside celtic music are playing guitar, singing, song- and storywriting, painting and walking


Martina in Germany

YOU ARE FROM GERMANY... ...well, I'm especially glad to meet you, Martina! I'm from Germany, too; also in the "40th" (okay, a few more than you! ) and I'm looking forwards to get to know you better by your posts!
So a warm welcome, look around and enjoy the music and the community...it's a very nice and extraordinary folk around here!

I have many intrests, some of which are reading (I love British literature), spending time outside, and watching my boyfriend play baseball.
So thats me....

I must say, I have had the warmer welcome here than I have ever had on any other online community I spend time on. I guess that it is that Celtic hospitality!
