What's going on and coming up

Livestream No.5, St.Patrick's Day Special, is on the horizon - so here are a couple of tunes that will definitely feature on the night. If you feel like having a go and playing along, that would be great! Planxty Robert Jordan is by O'Carolan - I've given an idea of the chords I'll use but they're not set in stone; or there's a very clear score of just the melody here

Sweet Molly I just came across and thought it was a good tune - I'll probably add it onto the end of 'Bold Docherty', a song that mentions a Molly in the lyric :)

Take care there's another tune of the same name on thesession.org ;)

Sorry to hear of the passing of musical adventurer Chick Corea, who was never afraid to do something unusual. “My one thing is I continue to be interested and want to be a student. I don't want to be a master. When I'm learning something, I'm in my element.” Chick Corea, 12 June 1941 - 9 February 2021

Here in a sparkling duet with Japanese pianist Hiromi, who he kind of discovered and mentored: https://youtu.be/QjInbqxqrbQ

Getting very excited about next Tuesday's Lunar New Year / Mardi Gras livestream! I made this playlist of some songs that are kind of buzzing around in the background while I get things ready... Eclectic mix as usual. Hope you enjoy and hope to see you next Tuesday 7.30pm UK-time!
