12 NOV: Audlem Bagpipe and Hurdy-Gurdy Day 2016; Audlem, South Cheshire, UK

Our annual bagpipe and hurdy-gurdy day will this year be on Saturday 12th November starting at about midday, and has moved back to its traditional home, The Shroppie Fly in Audlem, South Cheshire. All musicians of all abilities are welcome to come along, join in the session, and chat about all things musical. Anyone who is thinking of playing either bagpipes or the hurdy-gurdy will be welcome to try instruments (mine at least), and talk about the right and wrong ways to go about buying instruments or setting up and maintaining them.

♫ homerecords.be -Valentin Clastrier / Steven Kamperman - Fabuloseries♫

Brand new release by the 'godfather of modern hurdy-gurdy', Valentin Clastrier: 'FABULOSERIES'

The French 'living legend' Valentin Clastrier is generally regarded as the inventor of the modern hurdy-gurdy: he has transformed this traditional drone instrument into a virtuoso sound machine. His playing is full of surprises, like his career: his start as guitarist with Jacques Brel eventually led him to many years of cooperation with European jazz heroes like Louis Sclavis, Michel Godard and Michael Riessler. Until 2012, clarinetist, composer and crossover wizard Steven Kamperman was known mainly for his work with his Turkish-Dutch ensemble Baraná, with which he performed from Mexico to Siberia. His impassioned playing reveals a background in jazz and a special love for modal music. With mesmerizing drone tones and compelling rhythms as a base, Kamperman and Clastrier blend chromatic melodies with fabulous sounds and intense improvisations. A spectacular duo that definitely 'rocks'!

I also play in a Pirate Folk Metal band: Storm Seeker https://www.facebook.com/Stormseekerb...

This instrument is called "hurdy gurdy" and has its roots in the medieval times. It works like a mechanical violin with a wheel bow, that can play bass, melody and rhythm all at once. This song is recorded using ONLY the hurdy gurdy.
