please add local venacular in at any time! We'd hate to get over to the Isle and sound like textbooks!


Just adding some local vernacular! wink.gif

Hi,

I'm a native speaker from Donegal and up there we would say gráim thú (grah'm hoo). I've often heard "mo ghrá thú" used by Conamara folk to mean "fair play to you" for example to show their appreciation when someone is singing.

Thank you, thank you , thank you. I have been waiting for something like this.

It would be a perfect way to translate krmsmax's message. (Is that an American name? wink.gif)

Slán,
Bríd

nice smile.gif I perticularly like
"Bídeach na gCarad" and "Green Grows the Laurel". I think I'll like "Caidé sin don tsé sin?" as well, but I've got to either turn up the volume to load it into a wav editor and increase the level on it first, so I can hear it better smile.gif


Thanks! I'm glad you like them. The demo version of "Caidé sin don tsé sin?" in my samples is very badly mixed. It was recorded with Antonio Breschi (really worth checking out www.ethnicpiano.com) and unfortunately we let Antonio too close to the mixing table! rolleyes.gif laugh.gif The melody on the demo is the most common melody sung to this song. I recorded the song on my cd to another tune and with only bodhrán accompaniment. The melody I used is a very rare one brought to light by Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh of Altan and recorded on their album "Runaway Sunday".

Slán,
Bríd

My favourite cd of the moment would have to be Ar Mhuin na Muice by ehrm, myself. Well it cost me 20,000 big ones, so I'd better bleedin' like it, innit? Luckily, the reviewers seem to like it too. "Bewitching" is what Hotpress Magazine in Dublin wrote.

If you'd like to listen for yourself, please visit my website: Bríd Ní Mhaoileoin. You can also have a look at my "Cd Grand Tally"
(remember savekaryn.com?).

Thanks for reading!
Slán,
Bríd
