It's @WhitbyFW #Tunesday. Here's my version of a jig, Humours (Shores) of Lough Gowna. Gowna is a beautiful small village in #Cavan, #Ireland where my mum grew up. @cavanarts #Irishmusic #Tradfolk #flute #Woodenflute. #nyah https://t.co/FqbTsusf9g

It's @WhitbyFW #tunesday over on Facebook & I had the urge to learn an #English #Folk tune today I had a spare hour so here's the result: A #hornpipe named after my hometown #Stockport. https://t.co/4UkAWDYTsy … #woodenflute #flute #Folkfestival https://t.co/qjjEAr7Gpp

From Colin Irwin (@MOJOmagazine) who was at the @LizHonks & Michael Walsh gig @WhitbyFW ."Flute and cello? That's not going to work is it? Is it? Well, it bloody does in the hands of Michael Walsh and Liz Hanks! Beautiful. Art music for the soul." #folk #festivals @frootsmag

Lovely show @pvespertine , New fiddle album by English fiddler @BryonyGriffith is a lovely listen is you get a chance. My favourite at the moment. Saw her launch concert @WhitbyFW last week. It was class. #folk

[Bryony Griffith @BryonyGriffith]

Massive thanks to everyone who came to my southern and northern album launches of Hover. And thanks to @sidmouthfolk and @WhitbyFW for hosting them. Great fun! If you didn't manage to get hold of a copy you can buy one online from https://t.co/48w1R6EtVQ!

Lovely message from @WhitbyFW audience member: "One of our ‘new to us’ surprise highlights of the week. Loved your playing and moved by the spoken tribute to your father. Hope he was listening. Thank you". @lizhanks #folk #Festivals #cello #flute #Irish #Sheffield #Sligostyle

[Michael Walsh Music @trad_dad]

Thanks to all @WhitbyFW, the artists we performed with and the wonderful audiences. @Lizhonks and I would come back in a heart beat. A wonderful festival.
