My comment (might delete): I’m sorry, maybe my reading comprehension skills are lacking, but to me, your post doesn’t really say anything or ask anything. Word salad. And then you claim you don’t want to get political and go and do it anyway? #IrishTrad #TraditionalMusic https://mastodon.ie/@thesession/114735834975724611

Going to bring my octave mandolin to the session tonight #IrishTrad #TraditionalMusic

Had some good fun today with Cambridge Comhaltas #busking at Market Square #Cambridge and later at the NCI building in Chesterton. The event was organized by https://www.cambuskers.org/ fundraising for the Strawberry Fair https://strawberry-fair.org.uk/SaveTheFair
#IrishTrad #TinWhistle

There is #busking in #Cambridge all weekend. https://www.cambuskers.org/RunningOrderPage.html
I will be playing whistle in the Sunday Cambridge Comhaltas sessions (13:15 Market Square; 16:15 The NCI). Although not sure how it will go outside as I need it to be pretty windless! #TinWhistle #IrishTrad

Just discovered a lovely Irish trad album called The Groves of Boho by Hazlett Keers. I particularly like the raw simplicity of this track.

I posted an elctrofolk version of this last week - here is a #harmonica solo version. The Congress Reel, played on a Suzuki Humming Tremolo in G. The tempo is a lot slower than is traditionally played, but I like it like this, and my ultimate aim (not quite reached yet!) is to be able to play this solo in a way that makes it interesting to listen to. #IrishTrad

Got my adjudication sheet from the Midlands #Fleadh. Some good critique of my ability to play with rhythm and in tune but not too harsh about the extent I played the right notes in the right order.

Didn't seem to imply I'd failed to meet any unwritten minimum standard. (Was worrying as I was 2nd of two in the category, potentially by quite a long way.)

I have a blog post about the day (with some recordings of the tunes):

In a new departure for me, I recently ventured into the world of competitive tin whistle playing; last weekend was my first experience of attending a Fleadh…
