on the Edinburgh-Glasgow train
This morning Gary West introduced me to the Sound Archive of Celtic & Scottish Studies at the University of Edinburgh for the first time. Also there on his first visit was Paul Anderson, listening to some old field recordings of fiddlers - I could hear Soldier's Joy with G sharps leaking through his headphones.  On my headphones now, I've got some rough mixes from Alasdair Roberts which are very good indeed. Actually they're better than that.

Yesterday Alison came over with her cello before teaching at the RSAMD, and I recorded her making various odd percussion noises - you'll have to guess what they're for.
