much ado about an unplugged wire - day 6

today during our time using the actors space, we ran through the set list from the songs foggy dew to teenage kicks with minimal problems, other than remembering lyrics.

then after we had moved all of our stuff back into our own space we ran through derry child and irish rover.

i am feeling alot more confident and comfortable singing both foggy dew and derry child now.

also in irish rover we decided that we needed to put alot more energy into it, and so we tried playing while adding yee-ha's and woo-hoo's and even the odd chicken noise, which i think perked everyone up a bit more because it made it more enjoyable to play, and therefore added a bit more energy to the song.

after that we looked at some hornpipe, jig and reel pieces, and theneveryone got into pairs and learned their own choice of hornpipe/jog/reel - excluding me, because i have the gaelic song to learn still, and most of it i have done, there are just a few parts that i struggle to understand, but i'll work on it. :)
