A new Tune Vault video! 🎻🎶🎧The Tune Vault has been much neglected of late, for all sorts of good reasons! Here’s a wild tune from the William Vickers Manuscript to blow away the cobwebs.

Scotch Lilt- The Tune Vault by Stewart HardyA wild and raucous tune to be found in the William Vickers Manuscript. It probably originates in Scotland where ...
🎻 Following the wonderful response to the Advanced Fiddle Technique workshop we held this time last year, we have decided to put on another one. Expect some meaty tunes that you can really get your teeth into, with a focus on technique and style.The tunes themselves will be selected from a list that includes a fabulously groovy Swedish waltz, Vals från Seglora, my West Allen Jig, an old favourite reel by Tom Anderson, Da Sweerie Box, and the utterly amazing Shotgun Polska by Andy May (which started life as an innocent 3/2 hornpipe and was adopted by his Finnish colleagues in Baltic Crossing). What a stonker of a tune!!
📆 Sunday 26th October, 10:00 - 5:00 pm in Wall Village Hall.
🎟 Bookings are now open. If you are interested in coming, please see the Event or website for details and get in touch for bookings.

🎶 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'.
