  1. Murder Ballad Monday anyone? A wee Scots translation of Crooked Still’s Wind and Rain for Folk Alleys cover contest. ✨🎶 I adore the melody that Crooked Still used and admire how economically the ballad is told, without cutting out the gore!

  2. I’m in the process of converting my melodeon playing to using what is known as the the "Dutch Reversal", where button five on the inside row plays E/D rather than D/E. My latest “composition” is what happens if you play “Speed the Plough” as though on a “normal” melodeon. I think it sounds kinda groovy and minorish, so am claiming it as a “composition” until told otherwise, and naming it “Sneller met die ploeg” [No longer “Haasten de ploeg”] until someone improves my Dutch. (@sandradejong might you maybe advise please?)[Now received with grateful thanks!] Dots with .abc format notation in alt text below.

    Edited to reflect naming advice

  3. La seconde lettre de nouvelles de l'été est sortie. Un format réduit cet été mais avec néanmoins quelques événements sur Nantes dont 2 bals d'ici fin Juillet et les habituels boeufs. Ainsi que l'annonce de notre de bal de rentrée !

    Bon été à toutes et tous !

  4. Demain on part en périple pour #Kaustinen, en #Finlande.
    C'est pour le boulot 😎 !

    … pas pour le mien, ok, j'accompagne quoi. Il y a un #festival #trad #folk dont le programme a l'air chargé chargé :
    kaustinen.net/en/

    <grumf>Ouais… alors, ouah, leur site web aussi est chargé ⏳ j'ai pas la fibre, moi (images lourdes, worpress lourd, essentiellement constitué de scripts interminables au milieu des balises html) 🙄 </grumf>

    C'est hyper loin d'ici. Il y aura des mastonautes ?

  5. In total this was a superb evening - a nice "Wanderer" 4 to warm up, a simple crack in top rope to train placing gear without risk, and a really hard 6+ dihedral crack just after sunset to finish the day. Abseil with headlamps 🪔🧗‍♂️🤣.

    I'm really looking forward to slowly get into leading easy trad routes here - and I feel so accomplished already seconding so hard stuff 😯

    Why is this so fun? Why is that rock so beautiful?

  7. The approach was quite harsh for me - I'm really bad with endurance and cardio stuff. It was super beautiful though!

  8. I'm crazy... And half talked myself and half let me talk into climbing an alpine Multipitch Route. Who would have thought, after just one Year of climbing?

    In less than 6h, we'll start to the western ridge of the Salbitschijen in the nice Uri Canton of Switzerland. This:

  9. I’ve been obsessing over tunes played at Weedon balfolk today, and Jo Freya’s bourrée “De Montford” is an absolute banger.

    Check it out - amusingly medlified in this recording youtu.be/HhFIgv4QCkk

  12. While I don't speak a lot of #Irish I wouldn't mind learning a few Irish songs ... sean nós style and releasing them into the wild. The fear is always my pronounciation is messed up this one is "beidh aonach amárach" I sang it a while back and it actually speaks to me as a dad of a girl who is growing up a bit too fast for my liking! #mastodaoine #singing #gaeilge #trad #SeanNós #music #song #acapella #audio #ireland #culture

  13. Petit partage du mardi matin, Hoela Barbedette et Olivier Catteau, au service de la danse. Et j'aime cela!!!!

  14. On the second #climbing day we had to take some more care with the weather - there were thunderstorm-cells going left/right by 50km of where we were. We decided to do a "6" traverse route that goes around the whole tower, with a simple crack/dihedral entry. It was quiiiiite scary at times, but both power and technique wise not that hard. Still, bigup to my friend for #trad #lead climbing it. The view - cloudy - was super per nice too ... and the thunder in the background both scary and moody.

  15. Today, I was with my trad-leader friend at the Frohndellpfeiler in Palatinate. The crack was a "6", and it was amazing to see my friend lead this so effortlessly and securely. The route was a mix between actual hand- and fist-jamming crack-climbing and even a short shoulder crack portion, finished up by some slopey hell. I was able to top it! With only ~4 falls into the rope (3 times at the place of the video). I´m so DAMN proud!

  16. Cool looking gig organised by my old melodeon teacher, folks up Derbyshire way may be interested:

    “Tickets available here - if you're thinking of coming but haven't got your tickets yet, please buy them in advance as this helps reduce a promoter's stress levels 😁”

  17. It is our monthly night to go and play tunes in the pub, and I’m looking forward to that as the pub is quite cool. I’ve still decided it is officially too hot to play the pipes, even if they’re just smallpipes.
    Anyway, if you’re near Bedford come down to the Welly and play English / European folk music if you like, from 1930 until we run out of enthusiasm.
    Recognise me by my melodeon mounted mallard.

  18. Playing my NSP which I’ve been neglecting for far too long, and remembered how much I love Billy Pigg’s “Gypsy’s Lullaby” - here’s fiddler Martin Clarke playing it and giving a bit of explanation
