In 2005 I organised a Music Festival in North Antrim, to promote the music of the Hammered Dulcimer, an instrument with a long history in Co. Antrim. The event was also in memory of John Rea, the great Co. Antrim Hammered Dulcimer player from Glenarm. This video is a wee souvenir for all those who a...

Sad news indeed!

I just heard that Leslie Bingham, well known and respected flute player from Ballydrain, Comber, died today.

At our Session in Bushmills, Co. Antrim last night, we were joined by 3 Northumbrian Pipers , 2 Scottish Smallpipers & a Nyckelharpa ! http://inlinethumb62.webshots.com/49277/2554877000102727105S500x500Q85.jpg http://inlinethumb22.webshots.com/50965/2089596350102727105S500x500Q85.jpg A real trea...

Love the Jews harp Dick, Have you heard the Wright brothers From the old Lark in the Clear Air lp? Oh yes & I remember buying that LP, back in 74 when it first came out ... & I still have it. In fact, I was playing with Michael Wright in Aberdeen quite recently, at the Button Boxes & Mo...

Thanks for all the inspiration. Chuck Boody Hey, glad you enjoyed it Chuck, but really it's so simple it's as e...

Thanks for posting those, Dick...I haven't seen John for years (last time was in my kitchen!!!) I spotted a nice foto of another friend, Trevor Stewart playing his silver plated Rogge concert set in the first clip. Boyd Aye Boyd, Trevor does pop in, but only once in a while.

These two sets of tunes were recorded in 2005, during the Causeway Dulcimer Festival at the Giant's Causeway Concert. As a Fiddler, I always love tuning my Fiddle down to play with Flat Pipes, especially with great musicians like John. Speed the Plough / Hand me down the Tackle & When Sick is it...
