Yay, this will be fun. Firstly, I can contribute voice, whistles, piano/keys (basic-intermediate level), and could play clarinet on violin lines if we don't have a violinist on the board.
As for songs, these are the reasons for my ideas:
1. Harmony: Given the instrumentation we have here on the board (mainly tin whistlers, percussionists, singers), I think it could work. Imagine all the tin whistles playing the instrumental line which hits at 1.56! And there's a fairly simple harmony line beneath it which could be played as well. I'd really like to have a go at singing the main vocal line if we did this song - I think I can almost do it justice, though I'll never be as good as Andrea. And imagine all our voices coming in on "let's put it all behind us"! (Plus there are a few other important vocal harmonies). I don't know what kinds of percussion/drums people play here, but surely someone could play that snare drum rhythm or similar. As for the rest of the song, there's a long drone and a few other notes which could easily be played with keyboard/synth. Unfortunately we wouldn't have the acoustic guitar, but we could make do without.
And, it'd be poetic for us all to come together and sing a song about harmony!
2. Forgiven Not Forgotten: good tin whistle part, plenty of opportunities for multiple singers, prominent percussion. It won't sound as full without guitars, but the piano part is easy to play and repeats throughout.
Mystery of You would be fun, and I'd be up for it, but it definitely wouldn't be as straightforward, because it seems to be quite guitar/piano heavy. I'm wondering if we should try something easier first - though I'm always up for a challenge! I don't think the violin line can be played on D whistle, which I'm guessing most people here play.
Runaway would also be great, though again, a bit more complicated. Also, from memory I think you need a C tin whistle to play the violin line, and again, I'm guessing most people have D. Piano part is a bit trickier too, though I could play chords if we're desperate. I'd be happy if someone else really wanted to take the main vocal line on this as I already know the vocal harmonies.
