Shantalla

Who drank the wine?

Shantalla drinking tea!

So, here we are: the first rehearsal as a 6-piece. Fantastic!

Unfortunately, we only had tea because member number 7 drank all the wine. Yes! Mr Happee was there. Drunk as usual. In the end, he passed out over his tea…

New beginnings…

Out and about

Some of us were out and about playing music last weekend and we ended up back at Joe’s new house entertaining his friends and neighbours. If they didn’t know that Joe was a muzo, they certainly know now!!!

Reunion tour… the set list?

Suggestions are starting to come in from fans for the songs and tunes they would like us to feature on the tour. Here’s the list so far – they’re nearly all tear-jerkers:

Dreadful end of Marianna for sorcery
Erin go bragh
John Riley
Inisheer
The Blantyre explosion
Fine flowers in the valley
