A bit of a sesiwn
This is what some of us get up to on a Sunday evening. The flute player and the fiddle player with the blue hair are my twin daughters, Sioned and Eleri. I have my very best accordeon playing face on!
**edit** Just for those who like to know about these things, the four tunes are Rhisiart Annwyl (Sweet Richard) / Meillionen (a version arranged but flute player Ceri Rhys Mathews) / Hen Meillionen / The Roaring Hornpipe. Last edited by garynortheast; 29-05-22 at 06:37 AM. |

Re: A bit of a sesiwn
Enjoyed that Gary. You did well keeping the girls interested, at about 12 - 13 our son gave traditional music the two fingers, has indeed did many of our friends children. We have booked to see among others Tom McConville next Saturday.
Unfortunately I am musically inept, the brain and fingers do not coordinate, and the voice is crap too, - such is life. You may not be well off but I think you are rich in many ways |

She's a big fan!
I'm so pleased I have daughters with such eclectic tastes. |

Re: A bit of a sesiwn
Had to dig out my Win 10 laptop so I could watch this - my Android tablet does not have Flash apparently.
Sounded great Gary. Found my toe tapping a large box that lives under my desk to give it a bit of percussion it was that hypnotic. We never find ourselves in the right pub on the right night for this sort of session o our Welsh holidays. Happened 20 years ago too when we had a week in Ireland ahead of a mate's wedding - lots of music venues nearby but we missed all the live music nights.

Re: A bit of a sesiwn
Been to several 'traditional music pubs' in Ireland, trouble is the Irish like to talk and not listen, and that p----- me off. BIL used to organise the Ballyshannon festival, I refused to go, it would have driven me up the wall. Although never professionally diagnosed I think I suffer from APD, (amongst other things)

Re: A bit of a sesiwn
Very enjoyable - foot tapping stuff! There's something about higher tempo traditional folk/roots instrumental music that draws me in.
One of my regrets in life is that I didn't put the effort into getting to any sort of passable standard with any musical instrument. I guess drumming on the steering wheel while driving doesn't count! (And I also write this with an electric guitar within arm's reach that no-one in the house knows how to play. So it's not as if we didn't give ourselves the opportunity - just been too damn lazy! But one day ... )
