Anyone want to join Cruachan?

[Ard Ri Na hEireann]

Hey there, this is Keith from Cruachan, we are looking for a new member....someone who can play either keyboards, violin or flute. If you are interested let me know here or email cruachan@ireland.com

cheers

 

[Grotesque]

Sorry for being off topic but you guys (and gal) owns . I love your "folk-lore" album, definetly one of the best releases this year. Wish i could play keyboards heh.

Keep kicking arse and hope to see you on tour sometime in the future

 

[Ard Ri Na hEireann]

Cheers we will definitly be touring a lot more in the future!!

*wishes he could play keyboards*

 

[JayKeeley]

Just ordered your last album - cannot wait to hear it....

Can't play keyboards etc, but I'm a wizard on the triangle.

 

[Ard Ri Na hEireann]

haha

 

[Kluysenaer]

Sadly enough, the only instrument I've been able to master over the years, are those little macaroni tubes, so unless you're looking for a masta of pasta, I'm afraid I too shall have to decline.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

*raises hand*

Me, me, oh, oooh, me!

I can headbang! Or at least move around a lot to the side of the stage! Whattya say?

Ok, in all seriousness, it's really cool to see a member of the band posting here! I hope you stick around every now and again even if/when you find a replacement keyboardist. And how about kicking your record company in the pants and demanding a North American tour? Doesn't that sound good? Please?!

EDIT: I had no idea this was a resurrected thread! Dammit! Ah well, what I say still applies...

 

[Ard Ri Na hEireann]

I'm still around though

We have met a few people and may have found a replacement which I am delighted about as we are back in the studio for 2 months starting in May.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

So if all goes according to plan...will the album be mixed, mastered and released in 2003?

*crosses fingers*

And then we'll see about that North American tour, eh? Or at least play Wacken '03, since I'll be there!

 

[Ard Ri Na hEireann]

Yep, we are planning a winter release. I hope you dont mind the next album being heavier, faster and more metal than the last one but still Cruachan of course.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

Actually, that's music to my ears (no pun intended).

I thought 'Folk-Lore' was a bit overproduced and too poppy to be honest. I love 'Tuatha...' the most of your 3 LPs, so your news is welcome!

 

[Ard Ri Na hEireann]

poppy?? man I'd love to hear your pop music then
I suppose at the end of the day we will never please everyone no matter what we do so the only thing we try to do is please ourselves.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

Yes, I guess I listen to a lot of extreme metal, but I also listen to Freedom Call & Edguy, so...

Don't take 'poppy' the wrong way, I still *like* the album, just not as much as the first 2 (esp. the first one). And I believe you SHOULD make music that pleases yourself above and beyond all others. What's the point of making it otherwise?

Hey, off-topic, what does your nickname translate to?

 

[Ard Ri Na hEireann]

High King of Ireland

I've seen a few reviews were the reviewer thought that folklore was not as metal as middle kingdom...what do you think? I was always bewildered by that because it simply is not true, although I am very proud of kingdom it is weaker than folklore by a long shot.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

Wow, really? That's cool, but I also like 'Middle Kingdom' a tad more than 'Folklore' as well (but only slightly). I'd have to go give them another spin to see how 'metal' they are to be honest.

Thx High King!

Hey, who's the lucky bandmember who has Karen's heart? She's a right nice Irish lass...

 

[Ard Ri Na hEireann]

all will be revealed soon....

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

It's a secret...? Must be you then!

 

[Ard Ri Na hEireann]

Ah I thought you meant who is the new band member!!!!
No one in Cruachan has Karens heart, shes available to all....probably

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

LOL, the band member's announcing I can wait for! As for Karen... very nice to hear.

*books flight to Ireland*
