yet to be named

i know most people who read this message won't like the kind of music that my band play and so won't care - but as is life.

we are a three piece folk/celtic rock band with influences such as wolfstone, capercaillie, kerfuffle and swap.....(just nod and smile)

anyway - the musicians are:
- elly.l - violin, bodhran, djembe, tin whistle, mandolin and vocals
- naomi.b - leading violin
- james.s - electric guitar

we haven't gigged anywhere yet as we are still doing some serious practicing (no wait - that's a lie - here practice means 'piss around for a bit playing through a load of tunes to see what we like and occasionally make up an order for something - then eat biscuits.) we are still in the process of planning a possible ceileigh - but that seems to be quite far in the future at the moment.

we are also still in the process of looking for a bassist - which is proving difficult for the simple reason that you dont get many folkies/celtic rockers now amongst teenagers still - please contact me if you are possibly interested in playing for us and are derby based (or near derby)

well - thats about it really - 'sorry' if you considered reading this to be a pointless waste of time - and 'yay woo!' if you found it remotely interesting

Hey, I think your band sounds cool ... You should try and figure out some tunes, then maybe get a site going.

i second that motion

[Elly]

cheers i really appreciate the support.
also - we have a name now ;D we are (imagine some corny fanfare) [glow=green,2,300]The Eldritch Youth[/glow]. it took several hours searching through folklore glossaries and weird scottish terms (...don't ask....) but we finally got one! yeah!
'the eldritch youth' basically means 'the weird/odd/strange/mad teenagers' - a very fitting name i thought...

our site is still under construction at the moment - but please take a look anyway if you're interested:

[glow=green,2,300]www.the-eldritch-youth.piczo.com[/glow]

thanks again
Elly
