  1. I hadn’t listened to any Jack Armstrong for ages until last night - I love the simplicity of his playing. Here he is with Proudlock’s Hornpipe, which this recording gives a forename to too (which I had forgotten) -

    Do you have any good folk music to share this #TuneswapTuesday?

  2. When you haven’t played your pipes for a while it doesn’t take much of a binge to really feel it in your left shoulder. Think I need to get in front of a mirror and attend to my bag position!

    Still, as well as a few morris and session tunes on the europipes I figured out Böl Olles on the NSP from what I learned on melodeon at Halsway last year, which felt like actually doing something musical, so that was nice :-)

    Here are the dots - a lovely tune!

  3. Good music session in the pub last night - it turns out we do know some tunes after all. And we didn’t play speed the bloody Plough so that is a small victory!
    I only took my D/G box, so of course others veered us towards French and Northumbrian music… should’ve taken my Serafini and must get back up to speed on my #NSP

  4. I’ve been neglecting my NSP for a long while now, unfortunately. Feeling more in the mood I decided to dip into Peacock’s Tunes.
    I used to know this by heart, and could do some ornamentation. Now I can hardly play it - serves me right! 🤦‍♂️ 😂

  5. Distract yourself from American politics by listening to #NorthumbrianSmallpipes - here’s Andrew Lawrenson playing Madame Bonaparte as my share for #TuneswapTuesday, now that I actually know what day of the week it is: youtu.be/VSwyZv8xgS0

  6. Can’t find the track of The Kathryn Tickell Band playing “The Desparation” I wanted to share, but in looking for it found this video of a young Kathryn Tickell playing a couple of Billy Pigg tunes that will more than do for #TuneswapTuesday

    Gypsy’s Lullably is one of my favourite tunes to play & following it with Billy Pigg’s Hornpipe is a really nice change of pace

  7. How on earth is it Tuesday again?
    Here is #BillyPigg’s “Mary Armstrong” played by Andy Lawrenson on a set of #NorthumbrianSmallpipes he has just fettled to take the edge off being at work again on #TuneswapTuesday

  8. @Phil Thanks so much for that, I'd forgotten about Mr Pigg! So, to introduce the #BillyPigg hashtag here's "The Wild Hills O' Wannie" plus a couple of others. Sounds like Curlews. #Rant #NorthumbrianSmallpipes #Folk #FolkMusic #TradMusic #Trad #Bagpipes

  9. I listened to quite a bit of Pauline Cato while working today, but struggle to find examples on the interweb to share this #TuneswapTuesday - I did find this though, Pauline playing Herr Roloff's Farewell (which can be found on what I think of as the Scott Skinner Page of the Northumbrian Pipers' Fourth Tunebook) with Tom McConville:

  10. For International Bagpipe Day in International Women's Week I bring you an English woman, Kathryn Tickell, playing Northumbrian pipes, and a Belgian woman, Marieke Van Ransbeeck, playing musette de cour aka baroque musette, with Andy May also playing Northumbrian pipes (he makes them too).

    Tune - Kadril Van Aalst - composed by Marieke Van Ransbeeck

  11. #TuneswapTuesday should be a thing.
    Recommend a single tune to listen to, link to it if possible, spread some joy every week.

    I'll kick things off with the Roadfrog-Orkney mix from Becky Taylor's EP Tunechaser: beckytaylor.bandcamp.com/track

  12. What’ve you been listening to #Folkies of Mastodon? “Bonny Bunch of Roses” caught my ear at the weekend and I’ve been caught exploring and enjoying all sorts of Napoleonic stuff as a result over the last couple of days - and had a look at Bonaparte crossing the cheviots on my #NorthumbrianSmallpipes earlier for good measure!
