Day 1 - Up the Sides and Down the Middle
September's here and so is the first fiddle tune!
You can listen and download the track (and all the other ones coming out this month) for free, here:
I'm doing 30 of these, one a day, for Refugee Action! It's gonna be a lot of work but I can't wait - I'm so happy to be on this journey.
If you like the music, you can sponsor me below and help out Refugee Action:
Refugee Action provide expert advice to those struggling with the UK's unfair and purposely convoluted asylum system, and support people with refugee status settle into their homes and communities.
If you could help out even a little, it would mean a whole lot! Thank you!

'Wool waulking is a traditional Scottish process of finishing and strengthening newly woven woolen fabrics. It is a significant social and cultural activity, often carried out by women in the Highlands of Scotland. The Gaelic songs that are sung during waulking have a distinctive rhythmic pattern that aids in synchronising the work.'
