Greetings All, We’ll we’ve been on EzFolk for some time now but I’ve been somewhat remiss in keeping up to date about things on our page here. My name is Ed and I am the guitar and bodhrán player as well as the singer in the three piece traditional Irish music ensemble Liscune. Our page on EzFolk can be found here: http://www.ezfolk.com/audio/bands/912/. I’d like to invite all to visit our basic web site to hear some of our dated stuff. These tracks were recorded about a year ago after we had been together for a few months. We are due to return to the studio to record some tracks that better represent where we have journeyed with our music. The site is http://www.Liscune.com. We are also in the process of redesigning our site. Once at our site you will see a link to some photos of our recent, third annual actually, Music in the Mountains Weekend. Once a year my wife and I along with many other members of our Summer community in North East Pennsylvania host a weekend of music. It’s a weekend filled with mighty music and craic. Not to mention a good bit of nectar consumption. The weekend generally kicks off with a big BBQ and then we all have a session at our meeting hall to which we invite the public. We put a punchbowl at the door and ask folks to chip in a little bit. We then take the money raised and get it out to the area churches to help with their food pantries, or like this year, to a family that lost everything, save the house although it needs major recovery work done, in the recent floods that plagued communities along the Susquehanna River up that way. Then we all go back to our cottage and have a mighty session on our porch. This usually, well it has thus far anyway, goes to the wee hours of Sunday morning. So hello everyone, I am looking forward to hanging around a bit more now that I found the place. Well that’s it for me for now (a sigh of relief raises from the crowd). Peace, Ed

Hey Ed, Glad you found the forums! Looks like you folks had a great time at your Irish music get-together recently. What a beatiful setting for sharing your music. For anyone who hasn't heard your music I hope they'll give it a listen... http://www.ezfolk.com/audio/bands/912/Liscune_-_Traditional_and_Contemporary_Celtic_Music.php

Greetings Richard, Thanks for the welcome and the promo. I’ll get the hang of the business side of this sooner or later. For me it’s about the tunes, singing a song from time to time, and guzzling whiskey. If you are ever up the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre PA way at the end of July by all means join us. Well anytime you are in the area just give a call. There’s always room and plenty of food and drink. Greetings James, Thanks for your kind words about our music. I enjoy listening to your singing, especially your rendition of Skibbereen. The biggest part of my family left Kilkenny during those hard years to come here. A few earlier and some later, but most during. Natalie is a very special little girl that joined this world three months premature. I met her when she was only about four months old through Colleen our fiddler who is her day care provider. I am still somewhat blinded by the brilliant smile she gave me when our eyes first met. Truth be told Colleen is a good bit more than simply a care provider. She is like her loving big sister. Natalie has wrestled with many hardships and I wrote the song to celebrate her first birthday because she so impressed me when we met. Actually I didn’t realize just how impressed I was by this little girl until one day the song just came about. I had not planned or even considered writing a song for her. She certainly has a mission and purpose for being here and I would not be surprised if many around the world know her name one day down the road. Natalie just recently celebrated her second birthday and is a feisty little thing, but I would imagine she would be given her disadvantages at the start. She is doing brilliantly, speaking in sentences, walking and running and being a brat sometimes like any other two year old. It sure does pay to pray hard. We have friends in St. Pete and travel that way sometimes. Not only that my best friend, next to my wonderful bride that is, Colleen is moving to Georgia in a couple of months and I wouldn’t be able to survive with-out playing tunes with her so I expect I will hop the bus often after she moves. Perhaps we can raise a jar or two one day. Peace, Ed p.s. We’ve added some photos of our performance Friday night last to our site (http://www.Liscune.com). It was a benefit concert for a local theater troupe. We were treated to a brilliant dance performance by a young dancer from a local dance academy.
