Cuisto Mako Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Ohé de l'équipage! Hello fellow pirates. My name is Cuisto Mako, I'm part of a pirate band based in Montreal called "Les Murènes". As a cuisto, it is my dutie to make sure that every belly aboard is full. Lucky for them, I know at least 30 ways how to cook old hats and boots. I found only recently this very nice forum dedicated to pyracy and though you mind be interested to know our band. Here is our myspace: http://www.myspace.com/lesmurenes Our first CD should be ready later this year. Please fell free to give us any feedback. Bon vent et Bon appetit!

Sjöröveren Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I like your sound! Québècois folk music has its own unique sound that simply isn't found anywhere else. Adding the pirate element to it makes it something that I can't resist. I'll be looking for your CD! Now that Tanglefoot is breaking up, and La Bouittine Souriante has become too avant garde for my tastes, I need to find a new favourite Canadian group. the Fool's Gold Pirates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well..we would be delighted to be your new favourite Canadian group. :) Thanks for the compliments we'll keep you posted for the CD release. And who knows, maybe eventually we'll be able to play at some Pirate event in the US. How would you guys feel about having french corsaire in PiP? Aujourd'hui vivant! Demain mort!

Cuisto Mako Posted May 27, 2009 Author Share Posted May 27, 2009 the more the merrier! or Does it mean we need to have a gurdy show-down... ? Can we see yours? Mako Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callenish gunner Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 (edited) Well done lads! PiP could use you but there is no budget for entertainers for there is a good venue for you and the housing costs would be free travel and food would be at your expense but you could peddle your cd's to try to recoup your costs ...I for one would buy at least 2-3+ (for m'self and as gifts) Edited May 28, 2009 by callenish gunner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackjohn Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 If I had any musical talent, I'd ditch my firearms and take up the hurdy gurdy. I love it so. Good music! Thanks for posting your link!

Isn't this the "Chinook" model? either way orca and chinook are very good hurdy-gurdy names for a pirate. Those are very fine instrument indeed. I'm trying to save some money to buy myself a knew gurdy next year or so. One from Neil Brook, a UK luthier and definetely one my favorite gurdy makers. Happy turning!

Iron Bess Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Happy turning! Mako Which... cn be ENDLESS with a gurdy! I have far less a problem tuning my Bodhran (Excpet on rainy days!)

darkRose Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 duh...yes Chinook...it were the rum...I have the happy circumstance of having Felicia Dale as a friend and has really helped me with this instrument...if you do not know of her check out Pint and Dale.....outstanding music of the sea., and really nice people too! I am also lucky that Olympic Inst. is right across the sound from me....so there is a great deal of Gurdy goins on around here The Enigmatic Rogue...and may always be<br /> <br /> "I kissed her... once with passion... once with love... and told her good bye" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
