The Monday night Irish trad session at Wirström's pub is one of Stockholm's finest musical events, and very long-lived too. For the price of a glass of Sprite you get to hear great live music while sitting crammed in with the music in a 17th century vaulted cellar!
Wow, quite the honour. Songlines magazine’s June 2024 issue has a list of 10 essential bagpipe albums… and Orchestra Macaroon’s ‘Breakfast in Balquhidder’ is in there. I was one of the three pipers in the band, playing both border pipes and gaita.
🎉🎉🎉 The Cats & Coffee Cups album is now available for preorder!! 🥳🐈⬛☕️
With this preorder you get the songs that were previously released as singles plus two more!
The album is released on 21st of June this year!! Why not grab a book and a coffee while you wait? 📖☕️ Or find some peace & quiet? Or think about dreams that might not come true but still make you smile? And if all else fails go to the Café Of The Lost Dreams and find new horizons? And in case you didn’t know - it’s all okay. And maybe you have a friend who can make you a coffee or sing you a song! 🎶
In any case I hope you find comfort with these songs! 🫶
Given that on top of everything else his party has done over the last 14 years Sunak has called the election for a day when I won’t be able to poll clerk and thereby done me out of a day’s extra earning, I’ve resumed my previous attempt at learning this tune of @squeezyjohn ’s - I think I’ve more or less got it: #FuckTheTories
#TuneTuesday#StorySong John Doyle is just superb for both guitar work and story songs. If this suits your tastes, fill yer boots with the songs from this house concert. And anything else of his you come across, like his work with Michael McGoldrick and John McCusker :)
