Over the last few weeks I have been working behind the scenes for @AmbedoUK, a company that has come out of my dissertation project!I’m excited to say we are officially a company! Keep an eye out for photos, videos and tracks of all the recordings coming soon

Congrats to @Napiobairi on launch of Mná na bPíob, groundbreaking recording of women pipers @artscouncil_ie @LordMayorDublin

@LukeMooreMusic No worries at all, it was such a laugh and always helps when the musicians are pretty good themselves!! Will definitely send some links over, always happy to play pipes for people. Sounds like an ace EP style!

@EllenMcGov Hats off to you Ellen - felt in capable hands with our weird, wonderful and varied line-up from our first note to the last! Do please feel free to DM links to pipe playing if interested in potential session work? Currently working on a pastoral Celtic inspired EP of my own!

Was such a pleasure mixing for Kaya and her amazing band the other night!! Glad to see it packed and full of energy 💃🏻🎶

Goal of 2023 - play tunes at least once a week!! 🎶 If anyone has any tune or session recommendations let me know, ready to blast out those reels this year!!💃🏻

Absolutely fabulous...so many dancing to @LeveretBand @FolkEast

AMAZING. National Youth Folk Ensemble on FIRE 🔥 this is what the future could and should be like. They made this themselves. Young people making music on their terms, how they want to, to a packed marquee and standing ovation. Give young people opportunities and they’ll thrive!

Get up and dance! to the brilliant @TheEFDSS National Youth Folk Ensemble at @FolkEast

Sooo honoured to have been part of such an amazing gig and a fabulous festival!! One of the best experiences I’ve had 🎶💃🏻

Yahss, totally loved recording with @wrenniehiggins over the last two days for her up coming album!! It’s definitely one to keep an eye out for!! 😄🎶

What an inspirational group of people! Thank you for being a fantastic panel and especially to @JennaMacrory (who I should photoshop in later!) for managing to Zoom in. You all spoke so eloquently. #youthfriendlyfolk #genderequalityinmusic #folk

Excited to be joining these on tour next week as their engineer!! If you haven’t already I would highly recommend getting your tickets to see them, there will be some cracking venues and tunes so don’t miss out!!

“men: no woman owes you a smile” 👏

Catching up on the National Youth Folk Ensemble’s streamed gig last night while I go tackle the washing. Such a lovely performance from both @andycuttingbox and the ensembles. I would highly recommend tuning in via @yorkearlymusic website to watch 🎶

First of two videos that we recorded by a river at Hardcastle Crags, Hebden Bridge. It was such a lovely day and I captured some some great bird song while I was there 😄🍃

What an amazing chat with @kelliewhile we had last night! Check it out on our Facebook page. Stay fierce 💕💙💕

At 4pm today we released one of two videos that we recorded with these lovely people!! It was such a lovely day listening to their music alongside the river and the birds, I would highly recommend heading over to our YouTube and checking it out😄🎶🍃

It should go without saying that in the question of building a society where women are not murdered, assaulted and living in fear of men, the onus falls upon men. All men have a role to play in that. Heart broken for the family and loved ones of Aisling Murphy today.

She was going for a run. 💔

@racheldarling00 @TFFFPodcast Thanks @racheldarling00, messaged them😄 Hope you are good xx
