I’ve been playing #AuldTunes all my days but recently I’ve been paying more attention to their provenance and, well, some of them have been around for a long time. Here’s the earliest known version of The Rock and the Wee Pickle Tow, published as The Scottish March in Playford’s Musick’s Hand-Maid from 1663. (I’ve ignored the weird extra bar in the 2nd part). #ScottishMusic #TraditionalMusic #Bagpipes #BorderPipes

Apparently if you tune in to Radio 2 at 0640 tomorrow you can listen to Jane Moulder, who edits “Chanter” - the Bagpipe Society magazine, talking about this year’s Blowout (annual festival/get together of English & European bagpipes, over in Leicestershire).

(I must try to get to it some year, and for more than the three hours I managed once before!)

Happy New Year to you all. Here's an interesting wee tune to start the year, Stalker Castle, a 6/4 from the 1845 Piper's Assistant collection. You can read a bit more about it on ma ain website - https://bagpie.net/stalker-castle-slip-reel/

Time for some (re) #introduction posts having moved from a larger, general server. I’m a traditional musician from North Argyll, Scotland. I mostly play Scottish music on border bagpipes and tin whistle but also play the gaita, a bagpipe from Galicia (with a particular interest in the lesser known bagpipe music of Portugal). #argyll #scotland #ScottishMusic #TradMusic #FolkMusic #bagpipes #BorderPipes #TinWhistle #gaita #GaitaDeFoles #portugal 1/2
