It’s Raining Up On The Hill

Please feel free to share about! Hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed creating it!

Mazurka from the Upper Floor

Waltz for a Friday

Jig written during a lunch break at school, with the threat of storm Agnes, first named storm of 2023, not really coming into fruition in our part of the world. A little breezy but quite sunny and pleasant. Relieved as I was on my bicycle that day!

Waiting for Agnes

A Harvest Jig

A slip jig played on the viola with handpans, piano and bass

Another Step Along The Road.

St Andrew’s Day Waltz

What Child is This?

Winchester Hornpipe

This little tune from my notebook this morning is further proof that I was born 200 years too late!

Minuet and Trio

So here’s a folk dance style tune in the time signature of 14/8. 
Not quite 7/4 due to the separation of quavers in threes, but one quaver short of 15/8 which would of course be a straight five beats in a bar. Does it work?

A Bit of a Muddle

Formerly titled a Soppy Ramble, but renamed after suggestions from listeners.

Navalnys Lament

A Jig dedicated to Hannah and Sacha, and their Duo "The String Faeries" in New Zealand!

The String Faeries

A Quiet Moment

St David’s Day

Smooth melody written on a day I drove across Dartmoor

Milton Combe

Written while waiting in the car to collect my mother after an eye appointment at the Nightingale Hospital, Exeter.

Waiting on a Nightingale

A waltz written at a time when the magnolia was just dropping its petals and the cherry blossom was taking its place in the floral highlights.

Magnolia and Cherry Blossom

Spirit of the Stones

Evening by the Fire bowl.m4a

The Holway Blackbird

Crowcombe Road

Playing around with the multitrack again, making up the harmonies on the hoof, so apologies for any clashes! 

May Song - (Dave Webber)

A recording made by Tony Piper and Rupert Kirby. Don't worry, the stag gets away!!

Exmoor Hunt Song -

Holford Slide

Jig for St George

Poverty Knock is a song I often heard in folk clubs a decade or two ago and loved it. Here's a use of lockdown time playing around with a multitrack performance. Apologies, I'm useless at accents!

Poverty Knock

A mazurka dedicated to Noreen O'Shea who was an inspiration and a great music leader at several sessions I attended in Ireland before I started on the Lorry Driver's Lunch Project.

Noreen’s Mazurka

Composer, conductor, lorry driver, primary school teacher, folk musician and general music enthusiast! Playing fiddle, guitar, keyboards and other instruments!
