I'm now learning "Natural High" by Hammerfall. Sounds pretty cool, i think the band is Finnish or Latvian ( not so sure about that :P ).

I've got a guitarist playing with me as well of course, sort of sounds a bit boring with just drums :)

Fiddle/violin- reasonably OK, haven't played anything solo and classical for over 5 years now, though I do still play in orchestras and do folk stuff.

I've also got various odd instruments lying around: a bodhran and a hexaharmonica, both of which I need to get better at, and a bombard which I need to get a reed for and learn how to play.

EDIT: Apparently the thing I call a hexaharmonica is actually a Hohner Sextet.

Ooh, bodhrans are fun. I was privileged enough to see flook over the summer, the bodhran solo by their guy was stunningly good.  :)

Also, welcome!

Thanks! Bodhrans are indeed a lot of fun, but I'm kind of embarrassed to play mine given how good a lot of the people I know are- and I'm not sure whether it's my technique or whether the skin is slippery, but I find it hard to reliably get a sound rather than a scrape out of it. Also, I'm not a guitarist and guitar experience makes it easier to learn the bodhran...

Never heard of it and I can't be bothered Googleing it. Please enlighten me, what is a Bodhran?

It's a fairly large celtic (Irish/Scots mainly) drum;

Currently waiting for my piano pupil to arrive, playing lullaby versions of Concerning Hobbits and the Sleeping Beauty Waltz by ear (or trying to :P )

I need too buy autoharp strings, but they're expensive and I am lacking in monies :(
