Was looking to see if Jack and Dave had recorded anything else together. This query came up

"Ralio! Tirliavimas" is a blend of traditional Lithuanian themes for the lamzdelis (Lithuanian fipple flute) and piano. 
A quick post by way of #Introduction as I am moving here from a different instance. My bio is mostly about my turning work, but I am also interested in music of most genres, particularly #EnglishFolk or #traditionalMusic (I play the button accordion) and #classicalMusic .

Had a lovely wee gig in Arduaine (pronounced Ar-doonie locally) south of Oban last night. The view from the hotel is pretty spectacular and there are hairy beasties ootside. #scotland #argyll #TraditionalMusic #hielancoo
Really enjoyed the session in The Oban Inn last week. The tunes were really flowing and the punters were really enjoying it. When both musicians and listeners are ‘in the zone’ it creates a wonderful, infectious atmosphere.

Wow, quite the honour. Songlines magazine’s June 2024 issue has a list of 10 essential bagpipe albums… and Orchestra Macaroon’s ‘Breakfast in Balquhidder’ is in there. I was one of the three pipers in the band, playing both border pipes and gaita.

The CD is still available on Bandcamp (https://orchestramacaroon.bandcamp.com/.../breakfast-in...) or check it out on the usual streaming platforms.

The Paisley weaver poet & songwriter: celebrating Robert Tannahill
17 May, Royal Society of Edinburgh – free
Dissenting from prevailing notions that label Robert Tannahill (1774–1810) as “sweetly sentimental”, Prof Fred Freeman's lecture positions Tannahill as a major poet who expanded the tradition of British “rationalist” pastoralism.

Time for another auld tune. Jack Lattin was once popular all across these islands. Composed in Ireland sometime in the early 1700s it quickly spread across the Irish Sea and appears in many Scots music collections of the 18th century.

Always like stopping at Hamish Henderson's childhood home in Glenshee, which backs right onto the kirkyard.
Henderson was a major organiser of the Scottish Folk Revival in the 1950s-70s. Some of his interest in folk culture came from his upbringing here and around Blairgowrie, where he heard his mother and their neighbours singing traditional songs.
Did I really forget to share this here?! Album of #japanese #sea #music by Selene & me.

And now the last of my 40 settings from the manuscript. I enjoyed creating pipe friendly settings, I can't say I enjoyed recording them. I don't think recording tunes that I am unfamiliar with does the tunes or my piping justice.

In the 1970s, the Bothy Band gave us the sound and feel that Irish traditional music has to this day. If you go to any Irish music session on the planet, you can't play more than a few notes of any tune that the Bothies recorded before everyone else starts playing with you.
Before this night in Glasgow a month ago, the group hadn't played together since 1979. They most assuredly aren't dead yet.
