ANYONE INTERESTED IN FORMING A TRADITIONAL CELTIC BAND IN THE SOUTHWESTERN CORNER OF MICHIGAN?

I am interested in forming a traditional celtic band here in the Michigan area. I live in Niles MI, work in Mishawaka Indiana(at barnes and noble) and I go to college in Dowagiac Michigan (SMC). So as far as you're willing to drive and I'll even meet half way if the need be. I myself sing, and play tinwhistle flute piccolo and ocarina and dabble with the piano a little. I have a friend who plays guitar as well as a few others interested but not exactly sure at this time. I am hoping to get a wide variety of music such as the oh so popular pub sing along songs( Wild Rover, Whiskey in the Jar...etc..) as well as some very beloved Ballads (Danny Boy, Loch Lomond...etc..) If you are interested you have three ways you can contact me..
or
 
I check aol every day, and yahoo and college club every weekeday and respond only on weekdays during the day. If you have any ideas as well as wanting to join please let me know, this is very new to me and I am open to darn near every idea I get. I hope to hear from you soon.

I have been playing flute and such for a lil over 13 years. I've been singing for 8 years, and interested in Celtic Music my entire life,mostly because I'm scottish and Irish. I've performed the past two year at the Silver Leaf Renaissance Faire in Galesburg Michigan, just outside of Kalamazoo. In the future I hope to be an  entertainer at MANY more Renaissance Faires, as  well as start a  faire here on my college grounds. If you ever even just want to talk, feel free to e-mail me!

Here is a song I really like that is sang often at the faires!
 

Health to the Company -Kind friends and companions, come join me in rhyme And lift up your voices in chorus with mine Let us drink and be merry, all grief to refrain For we may and might never all meet here again Chorus: Here's a health to the company and one to my lass Let us drink and be merry, all out of one glass Let us drink and be merry, all grief to refrain For we may and might never all meet here again Here's a health to the dear lass that I love so well Her style and her beauty, sure none can excel She smiles on my countenance and sits on me knee Sure there's no one in Erin as happy as we Our ship lies at harbor, she's ready to dock I hope she's safe landed without any shock If ever I meet you by land or by sea I will always remember your kindness to me

Some of my favorite Celtic Songs:
Whiskey in the Jar
