The musicians at #WORLDPLAYASTRATHSPEYDAY at #tradfest2026 #edinburgh are astounding fluid with tight responsive interplay. It was recorded and in a few weeks will be up at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZpyvAxRHOr2W2pWVKRNBoQ

Only complaint is that it was a seated venue 🤣
Today is #WorldPlayAStrathspeyDay 🎻 I thought I’d take part with this iconic James Scott Skinner tune The Laird of Drumblair. The very idea of posting a short piano piece terrified me. I am by no means a pianist but I had a lot of fun playing simply for the pursuit of joy; not perfection or at times, even accuracy (no judgy please!)
Maybe next year, I’ll diddle a tune!
