I had a final recording session for the Ciderhead EP today. With fingers, toes, and eyes crossed, it should be out on CD and MP3 at the end of October. You can help make it so by becoming a Pint Pledger on my Patreon.
Thank you.

An update on the Ciderhead E.P.
Have a read and, if you can afford to, do consider supporting its completion, and securing your own copy, on CD or MP3.
Thanks.

An E Minor jig what I wrote. This has been about four months in development. I'm fairly pleased with it in its present form.

A rare day of average Summer temperatures, so I can finally close the windows and record a video. This is a tune I've been learning from the book Karen Tweed's Irish Choice.

Instrument Corner is becoming a tad crowded now, with the addition of an early birthday present.
I'd had an early keyboard in the Yamaha PSR series as a student in the 1990s. It's quite amazing how much more sophisticated, and less toy-like, modern instruments are.
For the nerds out there, this is a 383, apparently introduced in 2024.

A generous review from Tony Bishop of Guerilla Cricket:
'The finest fiddler in the M3 corridor.'

Nancy Vernon, attributed to the Irish harpist Turlough O'Carolan. It's certainly my favourite of the prolific Planxty genre.
