Anybody got any recommendations for #CelticConnections this January in #Glasgow ? I've already booked a couple of events but there are so many artists I've never heard of but happy to learn about. Who are you seeing?
PS, if you're never attended at Celtic Connections it's well worth a trip to Glasgow to chase the winter away with some wonderful music!

Every day I write a little note to accompany a track from the album *Préquelle*, just to add a touch of humanity and give you some context (I’m currently at 7 out of 15; in French and English – I hope to make the Estonian later).
*Préquelle* is a compilation of recordings that were on my hard drive; I’m polishing up the sound a bit and working on the transitions to make it a coherent entity (I hope).

Great: I finished the first 5 tracks (out of 15) on my #freeAlbum *Préquelle*, which you can already listen to and download in full – though it’s still a work in progress – here:
https://opentrad.net/en/audio/prequelle/
(text is still partly in French, sorry)
It’s a compilation of audio files recorded over the last few years, amongst which I’ve tried to find a musical thread.
A step towards developing a repertoire that’s perhaps more personal than what I usually play.
Have a lovely evening!

I’ve just come back from the Rijas balle traditional #dance festival in #Latvia. I didn’t have my camera with me this year, but I’ve found some photos from last year, available from the festival’s website : http://www.rijasballe.lv/

What a friendly and cosy atmosphere they manage to create every time!

Extensions to the British Isles Playlist
Introduction The British Isles playlist by novaTopFlex has been extended to include a much larger repertoire of traditional and somewhat modern folk tunes associated with the British Isles, including related cultures overseas such as Cape Breton Island 🇨🇦 and portions of the United States 🇺🇸--especially within the American South specifically. Major cèilidh 🏴 and céilí 🇮🇪 tunes are included within large portions of the playlist, along with […]https://novatopflex.wordpress.com/2026/08/30/extensions-to-the-british-isles-playlist/

A National Performing Company for Traditional Music in Scotland: Share your views
"Mona's Delight", collected as a tune and dance on the Isle of Man in the 1930s, derived from the tune English Country dance tune "Goddesses" that dates back to at least the beginning of the 17th century.
I learnt it many years ago, one afternoon in a Whitby pub.

Let me begin the time on #Fediverse with #music. In #Dinan, an unnamed musician brought old sounds to life - nakers, recorder, shepherd’s horn, ankle bells and even a desk bell. Her street workshop drew passersby into music, history and curiosity. She earns a living through her craft while keeping old sounds alive, giving them new listeners and, perhaps, new possibilities.
Does anyone know her and the string instrument she was playing?
As a follow-up, the concert band that I play with recorded "The Seven Stars" (called "The Moon and and Seven Stars" on the CD) a few years back.
It's coupled with an Irish slide called Scattery Island.

So, "The Seven Stars" is a mid-eighteenth century country dance tune. I've never tried to play on a tin whistle before, so I though I'd have a go (practice as I mentioned before!)

I posted a recording a couple of days ago, and I ought to do more. Forcing me to practise more for one thing :-D
So, if I'm disciplined, here's a thread of some home recordings.

I’d like to share here the website I made for my village #folkBand project, where you’ll find easy traditional #repertoire for your band or session (tunes and chord charts):

The pieces are almost always in G so that most traditional instruments can play together.
