I turned my shed in to a pub and all these musicians turned up!

Happy Easter everyone! I'm back in my shed for another isolation pub session ... some people have turned up and the tunes session at the end is sounding mighty! However, we had a request for a song! And so far we have had precisely zero singers to sing it for us! So The Wild Rover is still just an instrumental ... calling all singers!!

The other tunes are The Black Joke and The Seven Stars ... please join in anyway you can ... sing, dance or play.

The advertised Gigspanner Big Band album that came out this week, Natural Invention is available at my shop: https://johnspiers.co.uk/shop

I will be playing a live streaming concert as part of Folk Weekend Oxford on Friday night and you can buy tickets from them here: http://www.folkweekendoxford.co.uk/what-s-on.html

Finally ... as with all my Isolation Pub Sessions ... the music is traditional ... that means that it is so old that the composer has been forgotten and the music has been shaped by passing between generations of people for centuries ... it belongs to all of us. I'm saying this because YouTube have flagged up our last two sessions as "infringing copyright" because an automated system has processed the music and found it to be similar to that found on published recordings. I have disputed all the claims, but this is not without consequences as it means YouTube are stopping people being able to monetise videos which contain traditional material while the month long dispute goes on ... i.e. past the lifetime of the video. It discriminates against folk music content creators who are breaking no laws. So I've written this here as something of a disclaimer.
