James Keogh<p>Got my adjudication sheet from the Midlands <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/Fleadh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fleadh</span></a>. Some good critique of my ability to play with rhythm and in tune but not too harsh about the extent I played the right notes in the right order.</p><p>Didn't seem to imply I'd failed to meet any unwritten minimum standard. (Was worrying as I was 2nd of two in the category, potentially by quite a long way.) </p><p>I have a blog post about the day (with some recordings of the tunes):<br><a href="https://coffeenow.moomop.uk/post/2025/04/fleadh-2025/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">coffeenow.moomop.uk/post/2025/</span><span class="invisible">04/fleadh-2025/</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/TinWhistle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TinWhistle</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/IrishTrad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IrishTrad</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/FolkMusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FolkMusic</span></a></p>

Magpieblog<p>I'm guessing this is the Moving Hearts lineup from the late 1980s. Regardless of the date, they were obviously one great live band.

Magpieblog<p>The Irish Traditional Music Archive has organized its materials on the fiddler Denis Murphy and made them available online. Murphy was one of the most important Irish musicians of the mid-20th century, and his repertoire and fiddling style is still influential. The collection includes recordings, tune transcriptions, and hand-written notes.</p><p><a href="https://mas.to/tags/IrishTrad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IrishTrad</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/fiddle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fiddle</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/DenisMurphy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DenisMurphy</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/FolkMusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FolkMusic</span></a></p><p><a href="https://www.itma.ie/blog/foreword-denis-murphy-breathnach-materials/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">itma.ie/blog/foreword-denis-mu</span><span class="invisible">rphy-breathnach-materials/</span></a></p>
