doodlesac

The great tune search of 2010 has begun....i'm not off to a bad start, just getting my hands on as much music that fits into my very picky self determined boundaries.

At the minute I'm re-writing and and being inspired by Northumbrian pipe tunes and really early European doodlesac tunes.
Branles, Gavottes, Galliards, Pavanes, Hornpipes, Swedish tunes and general Bagpipe tunes. Will def have to save up for more smallpipes (having sold the last lot last year to pay the rent...stupid money!)


Yesterday we did a nice little gig at the Ravenous Cafe: me, Jim O'Toole and Adrian. It was packed and really friendly.

Today is also recorder lessons day, one down two to go... all very nice and enthusiastic people so really good to teach.
