The first one has been up a while - it wasn't in my original post but I think it went up between then and Geert's post on eigenzone (thanks btw).

All the tunes in those were written by one of the band.

Wish I'd picked a better camera angle to show the lights on the keyboard, but never mind.

They're great. I particularly enjoyed 'Last Time At The Swan', I thought that was really nice tune. Isabel and I are going to give it a go this evening.

You guys should do an album, I'd buy one. This genre is (astonishingly given how uncool it was in my youth) doing really well these days and your tunes are consistently good, which is unusual.

And marvelous to see the Eigenharp playing such traditional music in such a setting, thanks for posting it.

Great! Thanks for these. My fave is the Hornpipe. It is really wonderful to see the comfortable fit in a traditionally acoustic setting

Thanks folks!

John if you're interested I can send you sheet music for Last Time at the Swan.

I've got some more to upload, we finished the evening off with some more of my tunes including 'Tiger in the Grass' which featured on an early eigenharp video I made. It's become a cambridge session favourite - people play it a lot and no one's got really bored of it (yet !)

That's a very kind thought, thanks Robin - sheet music would be great for any of your tunes. Isabel, my daughters and I are having a few widdly widdly music (sorry that's how I think of all folk music which doesn't feature a man putting a finger in his ear and wailing) sessions together at the moment and fun stuff to play is very welcome. We're been using guitar, fiddle, 'cello and piano right now, but I think an Alpha is going to have to make an appearance in there now.

Just make sure Geert isn't within earshot when the widdly widdly starts !

John, shall I send the tunes along to the eigenlabs support address or email you direct?

I've got video for the remaining ones too - haven't had time to get them up yet. I might have a chance on Friday to finish them.
