I have an album coming out on Friday September 12! It’s a collection of 15 songs taken from traditional song videos I posted to YouTube in 2020, so I call the album “Fifteen from ‘20.” #celticmusic #celticmusic #irishmusic #folkmusic #folksongs #irishsongs #celticsongs #acoustic #acousticguitar #acousticmusic #tradmusic #irishfolk #irishfolksongs #scottishfolkmusic #englishfolkmusic #welshfolkmusic #australianfolkmusic

Good old Lester Bailey playing Albert Farmer’s Bonfire Tune on a one row four stop - classic for #TuneswapTuesday

I do love the sound and simplicity of the HA114 - I should play mine more. Not having to make decisions about cross rowing or what chords to play is a bonus!

It was August 2018 and I was sat by the River Avon in Stratford-upon-Avon.

The recording was on a phone, for a bandmate.

I’ve always loved this arrangement with the brass band of an English folk song. Love the Dransfields, too. #FolkMusic #BrassBand #EnglishFolkmusic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uqdqpadbKM

Having a wee warble with my #shrutibox this evening. 'Lullay My Liking' is a #15thcentury English Christmas carol and lullaby - the word 'lullaby' derives from the Middle English 'lullen' and is thought to have originated from sounds used by mothers to lull their infants to sleep. Hoping to record a full (and better quality) version of this for my #patreon soon! #christmascarol #lullaby #folksongs #englishfolkmusic #folksinging
