[kirst95lol]

i no they play trip to market on the album but this tune sounds completly diffrent :S

[daskarf]

oh yeah sorry mate forgot about tht

if you find out could you let me know? thx

[dbadagna]

Any idea how they got this name? A bodega is a Latin American or Spanish market, but I think it could also refer to a bagpipe used in southern France. In either case, it isn't clear why they named themselves this.

[anneelliotw]

Ross (the fiddler) saw a pub named Bodega and they liked it.

[dbadagna]

Ha, is that true? Where is the pub?

[daskarf]

newcastle

[dbadagna]

In Wales?

[daskarf]

no, i think the north of england, where ross studies

[dbadagna]

Aha, Newcastle Upon Tyne. I checked the Flickr photo and that's where it is. Somewhere near Northumberland.

[daskarf]

do you know what the flickr website for it is?

[dbadagna]

Sure, go to Flickr and put "Bodega" "Newcastle" into the search box. It should be the second photo that shows up. YouTube doesn't allow the posting of URLs or I'd make a link. (However, I did add a link to this YouTube page at the Flickr photo of the pub!)

[dbadagna]

Wow, I just found a great photo of it on Flickr.

[dbadagna]

On Wiktionary it says "bodega" means a storehouse for maturing wine. It comes from the Spanish "bodega," meaning "cellar," "winery," "stockroom," or "storeroom," from the latin "apotheca," meaning "storehouse," from Greek.

[dbadagna]

Was the harpist not in the group at this time?

[daskarf]

she's been in the group sine they were in 6th year at plockton - she must have been sick or something
