+Olham Posted February 21, 2014 Author Posted February 21, 2014 Hey, gee, three deep bow-downs, Sir! All I have ever played in Irish Pubs was still being sober. I used to drink lots of Guinness in Ray's Irish Bar, Berlin-Wedding.
Wayfarer Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 Then I guess you must know the Breton harp artist Alan Stivell - he is quite well-known by Germans of my generation. I still have a couple of his albums on vinyl. I have no turntable now but you've prompted me to see if any of his music is available on Itunes. Some of my great grandfather's on my Mom's side were Welsh harpists, being part Welsh and part Romany. My great great grandfather and his sons played together as 'The Cambrian Minstrels', to Queen Victoria amongst others. On my maternal grandparents' wedding certificate my grandfather's father's occupation is recorded simply as 'Welsh harpist'.
tranquillo Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 I had an album by Alan Stivell once. Don't know what happened to it. The only harp I play is the blues harp - a bit different to say the least.
