NYC Nightlife has traditionally been an adult institution - most NY nightspots are clearly off limits to minors. However, there actually is a NYC Nightlife available to those under the age of 21. In fact, there is a large number of NYC nightspots that admit people as young as 16. Some of these clubs and nightspots cater especially to the under-21 crowd; others are open to minors on certain nights and/or for particular shows. One thing that young people heading out to enjoy NYC Nightlife will need is an ID; if you are a young person going out for an evening on the town, you will need to prove your age (sorry, middle-schoolers), and don't attempt to order any alcoholic drinks. Chances are they won't...

<!-- @page { margin: 2cm } P { margin-bottom: 0.21cm } A:link { so-language: zxx } --> Brittany is one of the six Celtic regions that are recognised by the Celtic League. The other regions are Ireland, Scotland, Isle of Man, Wales and Cornwell. These Celtic nations are places that have kept their own Celtic languages and culture. The word nation is used because it is meant to recognise a people with the same culture, beliefs, traits and traditions – deeper than a modern conception of nationality.   Brittany's strong Celtic culture makes it distinct from other French regions. French is spoken in Brittany, but roughly a quarter of the population in Brittany are able to speak Breton which is a...

The annual Hebridean Celtic Festival - which is held in the Scottish islands every July - could be the perfect excuse to visit Scotland this summer. Promising traditional and contemporary folk music as well as a host of other activities, you're bound to find something to keep you entertained during its four-day run. Booking accommodation in a castle is a great way to get you in the mood for all things Celtic before you even set foot in the festival grounds. The event does not take place at one venue, which means that you can explore the Outer Hebrides while taking in a range of folk music performances. Lews Castle in Stornoway is one of the largest arenas for the shows, with the main festival tent...

Well, time for the first actual post. The appetizer's finished, so let's move on to the meat. And today, that meat will take the form of a bit of history. Everyone likes history, right? Right...? If not, there's still bound to be some general Irish tin whistle information in there, and hopefully a few amusing digressions, so don't let the "h" word scare you away. The Irish tin whistle is essentially a simple system woodwind instrument that uses a fipple to produce sound. Without the jargon, that means you blow into it like a recorder and not like a flute to make sound, and there are only open holes along the body, instead of the fancy system of buttons and levers you find on more classical...

Consider the instruments used by your favorite celtic group -- certainly, there's a fiddle ... and there may be a tinwhistle and perhaps some bagpipes. There's probably a guitar and a bodhran (a sort of handheld drum) -- but what about those other stringed instruments? You may find a mandolin or a mandola in the group -- and perhaps a bouzouki. In fact, a bouzouki may take the place of the guitar. What makes these instruments useful in celtic folk music? First off, you're probably familiar with a mandolin. It's a small (pretty much violin-sized) strummed or plucked instrument -- you can finger chords on it and strum it, or you can pluck individual strings to play a melody. Mandolin's are common to...

Glasgow or Edinburgh airports appear to be natural destinations for those flying into Scotland from various national and international destinations. But Glasgow also has Glasgow Prestwick airport, an airport that is just 10 years younger than the historic invention of aircraft by Wright brothers in 1903.

Car Hire Scotland is one of major services on offer that promises lowest rates with no hidden charges. And Car Hire Glasgow is also possible if that is what suits your needs. Interestingly, Prestwick Airport has been operational since early 1930s...

If you are just starting out promoting your band, if you have no fan base, or if you just want to attract fans who like your style of music, then start publishing a Genre Ezine. Genre ezines are electronic newsletters catering to your style of music. Unlike band newsletters, they are not limited to your band's music. Instead, they promote every band that is similiar to your band and your style of music. By promoting a genre, rather than your band in this style of newsletter, you will attract people who might be extremely interested in a specific style of music, but aren't interested in you...yet. And best of all you, you are in control. I publish the Celtic MP3s Music Magazine, a free weekly ezine...

rnambool is home to many shipwrecks, a historic boathouse, a recreated maritime village and was Victoria’s most active port in the 1880s. A mysterious shipwreck buried deep beneath the sand dunes on Warrnambool’s outskirts is just one of the intriguing tales that contribute to the city’s unique history. A Portuguese vessel, fondly known by locals as “The Mahogany Ship” reportedly ran aground off Warrnambool in the 1500s. This local legend is supported by the discovery of Old Portuguese charts that depict Australia’s southern coastline as far as Armstrong’s Bay. It is believed these charts were drawn in the 1520s.If ever found or proven the Mahogany Ship and those...

The violin has been, and still is, the most universal of stringed instruments. Let us take a moment to ponder its splendor. There are, of course, many styles of violin playing and of violin music. The violin is very suited to gypsies, that nomadic people who express the wild way of life and knew the start of the night and every corner of the countryside, the wild sounds of the birds and all the animals, their own yearnings and nostalgia. They are said to have come from India. The violin is at home in the classical music of India, having been adopted two centuries ago because it was superior in perfection and flexibility to the bowed stringed instruments native to India. The violin is at home on the...

The mystery filled Carnevale di Venezia (Carnival of Venice) dates back all the way to its first recording in 1268. The carnival usually starts two weeks before Ash Wednesday and ends on the day known as Mardi gras. The most prominent thing about this carnival and what makes it so special would be its array of beautiful masks found on almost everyone during this period. Being the central feature, Venetian masks started simple with its design and decorations, and were said to have a mix of symbolic and practical function. To the Venetians, its more than just about fun, it's about cultural roots and tradition. The masks can be made both in leather and with the original papier-mâché...

Over the centuries Ireland developed a unique style of dance, but it's only in recent years it has come to the attention of the wider world -- and here's why. During the interval at the 1994 Eurovision song contest, a little known group of Irish dancers called "Riverdance" brought the audience to their feet and astonished a massive world wide TV audience with their feet-tapping rhythms and colorful dance style. Riverdance is produced by Moya Doherty and its instant popularity owes much to the brilliant and flamboyant execution of the principle dancers, Irish-Americans Jean Butler and Michael Flatley. Thus a dance style that drew its inspiration from many races became universally recognized and...

Some occasionally throw in an addition option for instrumentation or musical arrangement. For instance, you can search for sheet music on piano for classical pieces. As a further option, you may want a combination of classical piano selections with a string ensemble. Further criteria include search by composition title or composer. The ever popular...

Did you know Scots have been involved in developing Canada before most of the world even knew it existed? Nearly a thousand years ago (1010 AD) Thorfinn Karlsevni was exploring the east coast of Canada with two Scots amongst his crew. Unfortunately their names were not recorded for historians to discover only the fact they came from Scotland. Some five hundred years later Jean Rotz (the son of Scotsman David Ross) was involved in mapping the giant St Lawrence River. New Scotia is simply a Gaelic form of New Scotland named after the huge number of Scottish Highlanders who settled there and still boasts the largest Gaelic college outside of Scotland and the only one in Canada. One of Canada's most...

The luxury travel industry has been the core of my business world for many years. In my role as marketing consultant have seen travel companies grow and fall as the trends for vacations and short breaks changed in line with needs for the industry's most important component - the customer. From just one holiday or vacation a year, the trend has grown to a pattern of two maybe even three vacations. For those with more disposable income, a sprinkling of short breaks throughout the year has become a typical indulgence... until now. With the onset of the financial recession from 2008 onwards large families and travelers in their 40-50s were hardest hit in terms of the number and quality of holidays taken...

Westport House & Irish Pirate Queen Grinne N Mhille During the 16th century, Grinne N Mhille or Granuaile was a famous Pirate Queen of Connaught.

Crieff - Perth and Kinross, is located on the edge of the Scottish Highlands. It is the second largest village in Perthshire with a population of around 6,000.

armonica is a unique instrument that allows each person to have a unique style when playing it. Because of this, the best way to learn to play the harmonica is by self-experimentation. Just pick up an harmonica and explore its possibilities. You can also find programs that can give you music, techniques, and other varied instructions to help you learn to play the harmonica. With these and a teacher, you may find several benefits, but since the harmonica is a fairly easy instrument to learn, experimentation may give you a better feel for what you want to do than formal training. Many times the formal lessons will try to pigeon hole you into a certain style that you may not be comfortable with. The...

I can remember I had played a toy harmonica as a child. I'm sure that both my parents and myself just regarded it as a "fun" noise maker. Well I thought it was fun. My parents - maybe not so much. I remember that some time later when I was about 13 and had one of my first paying jobs I saw a Hohner Marine Band harmonica on sale at a music store in the local mall. By this time I was more interested in music and had noticed harmonica sounds in some songs on the radio and in some of the vinyl records or CDs that I had come to the store to look at in the first place. I thought it would be fun to try to see if I could learn to play harmonica and make some of those sounds so I bought my first real...

p>Aristotle referred to happiness as the most we can achieve. Demons and gods were interchangeable in the time of Homer when people had far less institutionalized manipulation of their thoughts and soulful understandings. What is the 'anima' referred to by Aristotle and other sages? It is easy to be happy without all the things we obsess over. The balance of our constituent selves and the possibility of participation in creating a whole, or in conjunction with that WHOLE is going to be hard to beat for enlightenment. But most people over the last little blip of human existence have bought into systems that deny the whole or any sense of ONENESS. We have seen a 5000 year 'nightmare' as James Joyce...

There’s nothing quite like the thrill of being short listed, placed or winning a writing contest yet many writers quickly become discouraged by a total lack of feedback from the competition organisers. All too often their entry seems to disappear into a literary black hole which not only swallows up their cash, but all details of the results, short list and winning entries! Now before you start getting alarmed, most writing competitions advertised are above board and the main reason for the dearth of feedback is not dishonesty but disorganization. A great many writing contests are run on a voluntary basis by secretaries of writing clubs who often have to fit this extra work load in with their...

It is indeed a war scene, without the weapons, blasts and the fire! Ten years ago, the scientists and the researchers never thought in their wildest imagination that birds could lead to such a crisis.

Life calls us forth in a treasure hunt for story. We constantly search for symbolic dramas that are relevant to our own, ones that run parallel to ours and fill in the missing gaps of our adventures. We are the bards of the world. Human connections are deeply nurtured in the fields of poetry and prose. Transformational tales play upon our mind like a symphony activating different feelings and fancies from both within time, and without. When we join with "Great Story," we align our lives with evolutionary forces that carry us beyond old agendas and into new ways of being. We hitch ourselves to the truly great and are carried along by the rhythm of that greatness. Mythical musings are a time release...

The works of Shakespeare are as timeless as their own sources. His work reached quickly the upper echelons of the classics of Homer and Ovid, Aeschylus and Euripides. Studied throughout the world as the affirmative English language writer, Shakespeare is not only respected so greatly, but imitated and adapted nearly as often. As a writer of plays, his work is naturally crafted for the stage, and likewise when the stage fell under the focus of the first film reel, movies. One of his most beloved and superstitiously guarded works is Macbeth, the classic tale of bloodletting and madness in the Scottish Highlands. The tale is one of the shortest, and most produced of Shakespeare's tragedies. I'm not...

I read somewhere not too long ago that someone was lamenting that artists are putting out too many albums without spending enough time promoting them. Well, I hate to say it, but my group, the Brobdingnagian Bards, is guilty of such a crime. You see, when I started The Bards a couple years ago, I knew that bands needed a product. So we recorded our first album, Marked By Great Size, bought a CD burner, and started producing the CDs ourselves to sell at gigs. Six months later, we released our second album, Gullible's Travels. By this time, we'd only had a few decent reviews of our first album, but we'd sold a couple hundred CDs after playing at numerous Renaissance Festivals. Now, our second album...

"[Henry David] Thoreau is a keen and delicate observer of nature - a genuine observer - which, I suspect, is almost as rare a character as even an original poet; and Nature, in return for his love, seems to adopt him as her especial child, and shows him secrets which few others are allowed to witness." - Nathaniel Hawthorne (Journal entry, September 1, 1842) Most of the greatest poets were not recognized for their work until they had long been laid to rest. Many suffered great difficulties in their personal lives, which may have led the poet to the wellspring from which they drew their words. It has been suggested that poetry was used in our long distant past as a creative means of passing along...

Intro Every musician should know how to read some sort of music. Guitar players can read either tablature or regular sheet notation music. Tab is quick and easy but has several downfalls. The best way is to learn both of them. Reading TAB Tab consists of 6 lines, each one represents each of the six strings on the guitar. The bottom line is the lowest E string. As you go up the lines you get the rest of the strings on the guitar, A, D, G, B, and e. There are also number in tab that tell you which fret to put your finger on. If numbers are stacked on top of each other it means play them at the same time, or like a chord. There are other various symbols you will need to know in tab but these two items...

Key signatures are a theoretical approach to knowing what scales, chords and ideas you can play during a song without worrying about playing wrong notes. You can use the chords in a song to figure out what key it is in or if you are using regular notation you can simply look at how many sharps and flats or flats there are at the beginning of the clef. Key signatures can be major or minor and be any of the 12 notes of music, such as A minor or C major. Key signatures can give a certain feelings or moods to a song as well, much like major and minor chords. Circle of Fifths An easy way to figure out what key your playing in is to use the circle of fifths chart. At the beginning of a sheet of notation...

Your decision to read music or standard notation will depend on what you wish to achieve as a musician. As a classical guitarist, I also read and play music. Reading music will most definitely add an extra string to your musical bow. If as a musician you want to learn to play your guitar as quickly as possible, learning to read standard notation may well be a hindrance to you. Many professional acoustic and electric guitarists never learn to read this type of music and are more than proficient in their trade.

This may seem like putting the chicken before the egg, but once you decide the genre and style that your band is going to develop and play, you are creating the direction of the band. This should make it pretty obvious that the direction of the band will be one of your very first priorities. You probably already have in mind the genre (rock, pop, country, R&B etc.) and style (metal,punk,bluegrass etc.) of music that you want your band to be, so at this point you will need to begin creating a style appropriate song list. If you're a cover band (playing other bands music), you need to search for the bands that you desire to sound like and build your song list from there. Always keep this in mind...
