I really enjoyed Martin Sexton (singer/songwriter?), Taj Mahal
(kickass blues band), Josh/John Pryne (a more standard rock band with
a bit of a country twang), Black 47 (celtic inspired rock), and Luka
Bloom (an irish guy and his guitar).  Oh and I hear the Saw Doctors
aren't to be missed (despite the fact that I'm managed to miss them
two Fleadhs in a row :)

>e probably knew he would get dumped on for this.

Of course.  For the record, allow me to state that I don't have a
problem with anyone questioning lyrics.  Patrick's tone was a bit
negative, but I could've overlooked that.  As a matter of fact, I did
overlook that on one occasion when I replied to his lyrics post.  The
biggest problem for me was his insistence on making snide comments
about the fans, or in other words, about us.  In the long run, those
comments devalued any stregnth or meaning in the content of his lyric
criticism.  If he loses the sarcasm and posts constructively, I will
read and respond to his posts just as I will anyone elses.  If not, I
will ignore his posts and choose not to dignify them with a reply.
He is certainly free to post whatever he chooses.  It is his right.
But if he'd like positive, well-considered replies, it is probably a
good idea to stop insulting those who read and reply to the posts.  I
don't see it as a matter of free speech so much as a matter of tact,
diplomacy and common sense.

Hey Tom, where'd that phrase come from anyway?  I can't find my Hog On
Ice...

Anywho.
Folks.  I've been reading every single post diligently, which is unusual.
 Why, you may ask?  Because this place is like one of those When Animals
Attack videos.  It's pandemonium.  It's very informative to see how
people react in the face of adversity, but also a little saddening. 
Patrick hasn't posted in forever (I sure hope he didn't leave on account
of insults being slung at him), and the fight goes on, as jen pointed out
(I think it was jen).

Here's the meat of the matter: A ton of our own ranks are turning against
one another.  Tension is running high and adrenaline is pumping, and
suddenly we're in the middle of Hate Fest '99.  No, I'm not being
extreme.  Have you noticed the severe increase of insulting,
name-calling, and total lack of understanding around this joint?  I'm
sorry that this all started with one guy, cause now he's being blamed for
a lot of animosity that's directed at other people (did that make
sense?).  Please don't interpret my position and this post as being high
and mighty and above all this -- I've just tried to take a step back and
look in as an observer (notice, only two posts in several days from me).

I just think it's a crying shame that we can't seem to settle down.  Far
be it from me to jump into the placating-role, but I just think we need
to be aware of our heightened levels of anger and touchiness and take it
into account before posting.

One of the good things about this newsgroup was that it was so tolerant
- -- we could have seriously heated debates about religion and pets and
vegetarianism and whatnot, and people were still friendly.  I hope we can
regain that tolerance.

out of her mouth right now.

Hello! I've been lurking for a few weeks, trying really hard not to be jealous
of all of you people who get to see Fruvous all the time when I haven't seen
them yet for the first time. Grrr . . . uh, anyway, I just wanted to recommend
Black 47 as an alternative Fleadh Festival act. I *have* seen them, and they're
really fun Celtic rock/reggae/rap stuff. Definitely go see them, just watch out

apparently my post was misinterpreted my some of you. allow me to
explain myself...  :)

i have absolutely no problem whatsoever with people criticizing the
band. none. in fact, i too have my own qualms about the lads (of
course; no band could ever be perfect in every aspect for every
individual), and my devotion to them doesn't even come close to that
of the majority of this newsgroup.

but i *do* have a problem with the manner in which patrick chose to
present himself. i myself was not offended, but i found his approach
to be rude and inconsiderate of other people. (e.g. the name calling,
etc.) i totally agree with you in the sense that many people were just
as rude in their replies to him, and i don't necessarily agree with
how these people handled their emotions. but when somebody is
personally insulted, they don't always handle their anger in an
appropriate manner.

and i have not even considered killfiling patrick -  i agree with
those of you who think his opinion counts.   my reference there was to
another of k@'s posts, not to the one that she announced her decision
to killfile him. i felt patrick's posts were quite interesting; he had
many valuable things to say, much moreso than topics such as
breast-size, prom dresses, and armpit hair to name a few. (although i
thoroughly enjoyed some of these off-topic posts! *tee hee*)

so please reevaluate your first impression of my original post. i
think this whole thing is ridiculous and undoubtedly out of hand; my
intention was to stress that i felt it important to be considerate of
other people's feelings. quite frankly i could care less that he was
expressing negative feelings toward the band; i actually found myself
agreeing with some of the things he had to say. patrick has contacted
me via private email, and i feel we've cleared up some of these
misinterpretations. turns out he's actually a pretty cool kid.

as for quoting his whole post, my sincere apologies; my server does
that automatically and out of sheer laziness i forgot to delete what i
neglected to include in the body. *sorry*

hope that helps.
now (everyone), can we please stop?!  :)

peas and such,
kristen

Oooohh!  Me me me me me! I'm ever so smart!
Now let's see if I can get it right...
Back in the olden days, when Britain and France had a whole lot of huge wars for
no good reason, British archers who were captured had their two first fingers
(i.e. index and ring) cut off so they would not be able to pull back an arrow in
order to fire it.  At the end of one such war, Britain was victorious in fending
off the French, and the British archers who had made it through the war with all
their digits held up their index and ring fingers (back of the hand outwards) to
mock and show contempt for the vanquished French.

If anyone does have tickets, please respond off list.

Ah, but nitpicking was the whole reason I posted in
the first place.

For example, I could say that Moxy plays
an electric banjo with the "clawhammer
technique" so often used in traditional
music, and that they've brilliantly
turned Arlo Guthrie into Jimi Hendricks...

and if I posted that on rec.music.folk,
nobody would care. Nobody would understand.
I knew that here would be some obsessed
fans that have played the CDs over and over again,
to the point they know every strange note,
every dropped chorus, or the odd line
that gets stuck in your head and won't go
away.

I'm glad you think Moxy is just a party band.
Good for you. Party on, Wayne.

I'll back everyone who recommends Black 47 (tho, I haven't seen them live
and can't go :( ) and I'd also like to put in a nod to the Candy Butchers.
Saw them open for They Might Be Giants a few times and *loved* them. Now, if
only they'd put out some new music...

I liked Eleanor McEvoy.  I used to have her first album, back in my
salad days, and I played it to my little heart's content.  So I was
(secretly) glad that she was at Fleadh, and glad I caught her set,
although it was weird singing along to songs I thought I'd forgotten
years ago.
My point: See if you can catch her set. (She was on the VH1 stage at
SF Fleadh.)  She does Celtic-flavoured folky originals.  You might get
a kick out of it.

whose sources report that the Saw Doctors are also good, but their set
conflicted with Fruvous  :(
 
P.S. I've never seen Black 47 live, but I have one of their albums and
like it.

*Run*, don't walk, to see the CANDY BUTCHERS; *the*
best-unsigned-band-in-the-cosmos (or at least, the most-deserving of a
major-label contract after several years of 200% energy...)
