Hello!
Here is my July 2012 podcast (I finally caught up!) This is a tune is a request and was written by Jonny. We recorded it on Sliptease and it's the title tune. It's a slipjig (but does work rather well as a polska! There are three tunes in this set, so I'll do all three in time. Enjoy!

The Shoemaker - Swedish Bagpipes

Hello!
As a bonus I thought I'd record a tiny little Swedish bagpipe podcast. This tune is a Brudmarsch and I've recorded it with three pipe parts - (only two are Swedish pipe parts though. It's called Skomakaren, which means the Shoe Maker. I'm using Swedish pipes in A (which means that the six finger note and the drone note are actually an E). Enjoy. I hope to record some more of these tunes. :)

Hello!
Here is my June 2012 podcast (catching up slowly!) This is a traditional tune that I learnt from the BBC online session. We recorded it on Gleowien I've focused a little more on grace notes this month. These are very simple grace notes, so feel free to put your own in when you get more confident. I've not put any into the harmony part on the pdf, you can have a go at putting those in. I apologise for the cittra playing - one day I'll realise I really can't play it! Enjoy!
I'll try to get July's podcast up before the end of July!

Polska från Tärnsjö

Hello!
Here is my May 2012 podcast (let's not mention that it's July already, I've still got some catching up to do!) A Swedish tune this time a slängpolska - Polska efter Johan Skedin från Tärnsjö. I learnt this on the nyckelharpa and then played it on my Swedish pipes and finally here it is for the Scottish Smallpipes in A. There's nothing particularly tricky about it, a straight semi-quaver polska in 3/4. Enjoy!
I promise to try to get June's podcast up a little quicker!
