Flexagon and Lihou - Un Vert Bocage - A Traditional Guernsey song re-imagined
YouTube video by Flexagon
www.youtube.com
Hello new followers! I'm not making new music at the moment. Instead I'm enjoying a deep dive into playing and performing traditional music.
My last release, Un Vert Bocage, came out a year ago today. Looking back now it clearly foreshadowed what I'm now doing!

Just in case anyone doesn't have this from the olden days, you should always fill out an Authorization To Make Music form BEFORE you start making any music. It can help reduce mistakes and optimize your reliability and, also, it's legally mandatory.

A grey squirrel is on the loose in Guernsey, having apparently found its way to the island via a vehicle that's recently come over from the UK.
Lesser spotted ‘Sarnian squirrel’ seen near the Bridge
A grey squirrel is on the loose in Guernsey, having apparently found its way to the island via a vehicle that's recently come over from the UK. Squirrels are not native to Guernsey so the appearance of one on Grandes Maison Road in St Sampson's took people by surprise today. “It seems very healthy and has run off and the GSPCA are appealing for any sightings to email us

I recorded and mixed this album for Kiya recently. It's mainly live, stripped back and very acoustic. But on the last song Dizzy, she said to go off and do what I like with it. So I did. 😊

BBC Music Introducing In The Channel Islands: Kiya Ashton – 25/01/25

I would have more respect for Bob Dylan if he mastered his own tracks. There are so many free tutorials out there now.

Friend of mine found this in a charity shop today. They thought it was a vinyl lathe for one off discs or acetates. It's not. It's a dictation machine from the 50s that records on a magnetic disc.

My Great-grandfather made this mandolin in 1933. After years in a mess it was restored last year & it's playable again!
I learnt enough to join in at an Irish session, as a one off so my Dad could hear it played again.
Turns out it wasn't a one off, I'm a trad musician now. #mandolin #folkmusic
