Some of the exchange group would like me to play them an “English waltz” at it but apparently the samples I offered them, Harry Gidley’s from the West Country and the Veleta as played in Suffolk don’t count… I think they really just want slow and a bit less oom-pah-pah feeling?
Ideas and advice on how to make a #waltz more English, anyone?

Second spot down and another hearty meal, and some local #FolkMusic to help us while the evening away. Germans really appreciate #Morris!

The Blas Festival starts tomorrow - there's a bunch of free online events (donations accepted), as well as in-person stuff, celebrating the music, song, culture and language of the Highlands.
I'm looking forward to watching Ewen Henderson's composition 'Lèirsinn' on 6 Sept, and Ceòl nam Fèis on 9 Sept.
