New Song.  Actually recorded for Vicki so that she can comment and start to write nyckelharpa parts (so it's only a draft and very much work in progress) - but thought I'd share it.  

We Were Friends

A teaser track for the tune book:

Essex Wassail

Arne Sonata for harpsichord No.4.  1st Movement: Andante

ArneSonata4Andante

Trying out my new Roland C-30 digital Harpsichord

Bach in Bb

Ok.  I'm not proud of myself.  A harpsichord, a load of guitar pedals and an hour of nothing better to do (well - there's lots IO should have been doing).  Sorry JS Bach.

Bach Goes Bananas

Practicing and trying to be half as good as I was when I was 15.  Depressing really.

DrGradus&Parnassum

My take on Nigel Eaton's fantastic "Halsway Schottische" - towards the "how many people can we get to play and record this track" idea.  Three hours with guitars, accordions and Logic.  Endless fun!  Hope you like it.

Halsway schottische

Ok - I had to do another one.  This is only a draft - it's a simulated church organ.  But Bill Slark is playing a real cornet (A big thanks for that mate) - and I'll do this again when I/we have access to a nice 440Hz church organ.

Halsway Schottishe II

A brilliant tune by Andy Thornton.  Uploaded with his kind permission.   Ok - I found a warm pad on my computer.  Had to use it!

Marni Swanson of the Grey Coast

What you get when you: 1, spend an amazing few minutes with a 74 year old Swedish Diesel engine, 2, pass through a tunnel, 3, record the engine, 4 have the post-tour music blues sitting at home with Logic and no particular aim in life.
Very much work in progress.

Tom's Tunnel

Two random improvised tunes to the Bolinder rhythm.

Bolinder Boat Session

Composer and competition-winning guitar player; Jonny’s outstanding technical ability, coupled with a wide-ranging musical taste has made him a tireless and forceful musical innovator. Jonny currently plays with the successful UK Folk duo "Vicki Swan & Jonny Dyer" and the trio SeriousKitchen.  He also does a range of session work for folk artists and singer songwriters.

 Jonny has been singing choral music, soul, jazz and folk for as long as he can remember (which hopefully is more a reflection on the amount of time he's been doing it than how short his memory is).
