Some Uilleann Pipes ☘️ for you today 😁 so much fun playing on this track by @evancarsondrums a couple of months ago. Evan played Bodhran on the @thewildernessyet album last year, and occasionally we’d get to play together at @comefromawayuk 🌍 thanks to Eoin O’Riabhiagh for the awesome chanter, and @cpuilleannreeds for my new reeds. #uilleannpipes #uilleannpiper #irishmusic #musiciansofinstagram #pipedown #irishpipes #remoterecording #sessionmusician #ribbonmics @ribbonmics

7 years ago today, playing #tinwhistle at the Roya

7 years ago today, playing #tinwhistle at the Royal Albert Hall with Amy Dickson and the London Chamber Orchestra for the Classic Brit Awards. #viable . I recorded whistle, flute and piccolo for Amy’s platinum album Dusk til Dawn 💿 It was a remote session, so very surreal to be playing it live in the Albert Hall! So often TV stuff is mimed, so it was nice to play live for a change 😁 except I had to sit in the middle of the orchestra for the whole first half just to play for 2 & a half minutes 😂 The whistles I used were a Blackwood D & C from Mitch Smith @ Oz Whistles. He normally has a waiting list, but he has some stunning whistles ready to go on his website right now if you’re interested... (my wife says I don’t need any more whistles 😂) #whistle #ozwhistles #amydickson #royalalberthall #irishmusic #bigoldbarn #shouldveplayedthedoublebass #flute #flutist #fluteplayer #woodenwhistle #imissgigs

Flute Solo from “Up”. I can’t explain how great it is playing with @tomphelanmusic again! We have some new videos coming out over the next few weeks, and some new sheet music for flute and piano - with piano backing tracks available for practicing and if you’re struggling to find a piano player... lots of people have asked for a video of Salmon/Noogleshifty, so that’s one of them 😀 Subscribe to my YouTube to see them all 😉 The solos will all be written in the scores so you don’t have to panic 😀

Recording today 😀 feeling excited, but also always nervous about feeling I should have prepared more. I’m a firm believer in the magic of the studio creation process though - some of my best ideas come out in the focussed environment of a recording studio. It’s a little different when it’s your home studio, because you’re wearing the engineers hat as well as playing... So I’m really looking forward to being in a big studio again in the future! I’ll put some video clips up later 😀 #Flute #fluteplayer #flutelyfe #homerecordingstudio #flûte #jazzflute #irishmusiconthesilverflute

Found this old video from a workshop in Skövde, Sweden! Had a great time teaching Swedish Flute Teachers using my book 📚 #IrishMusicontheSilverFlute - here I’m playing a piping tune called Colonel Frasers that I learnt from a recording of John McSherry. I recorded it on my Madrid Sessions album with @tomphelanmusic back in 2005... I’d love to see some of your happy faces in tiny zoom windows on the 3rd October for my new workshop! Swipe for details :-) #flute #fluteplayer #irishflute #flûte #flüte #flutemusic #fluteworkshop #altusflutes #fluteteacher #flutesolo #flutevideo

Flute-back Friday... two years ago in Toronto 🇨🇦 with “A Hidden Order” testing out the GoPro on the end of the Flute (it’s heavy 😂)
🎶 motifs from my piece “Jigeria” and another flamenco buleria I wrote 💃

The concert was all improvised, based on rhythmic/harmonic grids we’d worked out before... such a fun way to play! @leedwestwood on guitar, @attabhaddad on Oud.

Toronto is one of my favourite cities - and we got to see the incredible @extremeflute Bill McBirnie play a gig while we were there 😀 🤩

Oh yeah, you should come to my zoom workshop on the 26th... 😉 #flute #fluteplayer #jazzflute #flamencoflute #irishflute #altusflutes #improvisation #improvisedmusic #flutelife #flutesofinstagram #anchorman #fluting #agakhanmuseum #originalmusic #irishmusiconthesilverflute #attabhaddad #leewestwoodguitarnotthegolferorthedj

“...precisely observed, poetic, nature-centric songwriting... everything you could ask for in a debut album... remarkable instrumentals, perfect a capella harmony singing, a firm sense of tradition... strong, thoughtful, memorable original songs which will have you double-checking whether it’s an outstanding new song or a traditional gem you have somehow missed.” Album available now from our website (link in bio!) or Bandcamp 😊🎶🍂

My guitar book is now available from Amazon! And... it’s now US letter size... I’ve sold out of the A5 version - and not sure if I’ll do another run - so if you have that it may end up being limited edition 😂 The amazon thing is print on demand - so should make it cheaper and faster to order in the US , Canada and a few other places 📸 @krulaphotographer #dadgad #dadgadguitar #acousticguitar #benjaminguitars #guitarbook #guitarlessons

Thanks to @dodd1924 for the replacement spring! I was over zealously using too much oil on my Hammy Hamilton wood flute... I wrapped cling film around the pads to protect them but couldn’t get any over the Bb key without taking off... (I’m sure I’m doing it wrong 😂 😬 🤦‍♂️) I saw the tiny spring and thought - must be careful not to lose that... 🤦‍♂️ anyway... Jon Dodd to the rescue! If you need any wooden flute repair work - he’s your man! #woodenflute #irishflute #springwatch #fluterepair #flutedisaster #flute #whydidntiaskanadult

5 years has flown by! Nothing like the smell of a new guitar 😂 🎸 Nick is amazing at listening to your playing and building a guitar that does everything you want it to do. This one has a wedged body to make it easier on the right shoulder rotation (I was having back trouble hunched over the deep Lowden i was playing - a temporary measure after my first Benjamin was stolen 😢)
The arm radius stops me cutting the blood supply off during a long playing session and the Benjamin Scoop lets me get as high as a cutaway without affecting the sound as much. The Cedar top gives me those rich upper harmonics, and Nicks magic blends that with a glass/piano like clarity. I’m torn now because I can’t see myself ever needing a new acoustic - so I need to live vicariously through you! Have you got a new instrument recently? #guitar #acousticguitarbuild #benjaminguitars #dadgadguitar #dadgad #handmade #folkmusician #irishmusic #crossharbour #thewildernessyet #cedarwood #cedarandwalnut #walnutbackandsides #benjaminscoop
