    🎶 One of my favourite Scots (aka ‘Scotch’) measures is heading for The Tune Vault!I taught 'The Farther ben the Wilkemar' at the last JSArts Advanced Fiddle course to a lovely group of players. It’s an absolute cracker and significantly different from the currently better known Shetland version. Well worth a look, particularly for fans of Nathaniel Gow’s 'Lady Mary Hay’s Scotch Measure'.The Farther ben the Wilkemar ... See MoreSee Less

    Niles Krieger is joining us on Saturday for the North East Fiddle School Summer Workshop Weekend. He’s a great guy and an outstanding fiddler. One of his projects is playing with my old pal Jed Grimes, who was a musical partner and mentor of mine back in the 1990s. He taught me a great deal and shared some fabulous tunes, not least Carolan’s 'Baptist Johnston' which is heading for The Tune Vault 🎻🎧Baptist Johnston [Planxty Johnston] (Turlough O’Carolan)A beautiful, lively tune written for the one-time High Sheriff of County Monaghan, who went on to be the MP for the borough of Monaghan. I learnt this version from Jed Grimes, who, in turn, had it from Mick Doonan, from his days playing with Hedgehog Pie and The Doonan Family Band. ... See MoreSee Less

    ☀️ Happy mid-summer weekend - it looks set to be a scorcher!Tyneside Fiddle Alliance, Phoenix Chamber Folk Ensemble, Hexham Village Band and The Redheughers are getting together on Sunday to share their music with each other. We are really looking forward to it. A big shout out to Robin Dunn who is stepping down as the leader of The Redheughers after what must be nigh on thirty years. He is one of the great servants of the North East folk music community and we are all lucky to have him. Cumberland Nellie is a tune I learnt from him and taught to TFA. We’ll be sure to play it on Sunday but in the meantime, here it is for The Tune Vault. ... See MoreSee Less
