About SlipJig

SlipJig believes that music should be as much fun as possible. Their music comes from the traditions of Ireland, Scotland, and other Celtic lands. It spans a range of styles from high-energy jigs and reels to ancient airs and ballads to raucous pub songs.

SlipJig plays with (mostly) traditional instruments in a (mostly) traditional style and while they make an effort not to break tradition, they admit to bending it on occasion. SlipJig is based in the Huntsville, Alabama area.

Kennemer	Dec 12 2009 9:11 AM One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints, and were stuck in the thick head. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer, and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink, held it out over the beer, and started yelling, "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT YOU BASTARD

Rick	Nov 26 2008 4:45 AM By the way, I like the tone of the mandolin in your video clips-- looks to be a Breedlove Quartz O. Nice!
Rick	Nov 26 2008 4:33 AM Hey, I can tell you this: It's tough! Scott Miller (my old bandmate from Redhill) placed 2nd at the Midwest fleadh on flute and also competed in the All Ireland on flute that year. Even though you have to beat everybody over here to even qualify for the All Irelands, few Americans even place, much less win. What's funny is that I had spent years playing box, not mandolin, and just decided to pick mando back up after not even owning one for 5 years. Do you still have a regular session up there? I make it to the one in Auburn from time to time, I might head up there since gas is cheaper now!
Doe ray ♫	Nov 23 2008 4:44 PM I will have a full report for you... and hopefully pictures. I'm sooooo excited. The Ryman's acoustics plus Iron and Wine= magic.
Doe ray ♫	Oct 28 2008 6:36 PM Coffee Tree gig was quite enjoyable. Packed house... and we had a nice seat outside to hear and peep through the window. See you guys Thursday. I've been MIA the past 2. Ooops. Arrrrrgh. Mike C.- Are you going to be a pirate for Halloween??? Ye be prepared from all yer pirate talk.
Doe ray ♫	Oct 13 2008 11:41 PM sorry. I had to. I didn't even know this existed. There you go Mike C. :)
