Tune #10! The Fiddle Cushion, by Simon Bradley

12/6/2016

0 Comments

 
I can't believe we're leaving Glasgow in two days!  It seems like we just got here and I really don't want to go.  But in order to make the most of what we have left, we went to see Lau on Sunday and learned this tune in a workshop with Aidan O'Rourke.  Hope you enjoy - and we'll be back in Boston this weekend showing our faces at every session we can find.  We'll see you there.

Tune #5!  Mouse in the Kitchen, by Colin Farrell

Dedicated to our new pet mousie!  Written by Colin Farrell, fiddle and whistle player, who recorded this tune on Flook's album Haven.  The sheet music on The Session is not exactly what we play, nor does it match the original recording, but if you're curious, it's here.  Have a great week, everyone!

We just learned a masterpiece of an E major jig.  Hope you enjoy - we're off to the Ben Nevis to learn some more tunes (and maybe play this one a couple dozen times)!

Tune #1!  Roddy MacDonald's Fancy, by P/M Donald MacLeod

10/5/2016

Hi everyone!  Ben and I have been in Scotland for a week and already I've recorded more tunes than I can learn!  Whenever we learn a new one that we particularly love, we'll record a short version of it and post it here on our blog page.  For the ones that happen to be on The Session, I'll post a link to the sheet music, but no guarantees that we'll play it the same way!  If you want sheet music of our version to be posted, or a slower version to be recorded, just leave a comment and I'll see what I can do!  Enjoy our first tune, Roddy MacDonald's Fancy, a catchy 4-part pipe reel recorded by The Battlefield Band.
