19.01.2022 This week's video had the BOTSO rhythm players in mind. Stuff I often say in the sessions, but all in one place. Something to work on until our Thursdays resume: https://youtu.be/m0J21MaAdsk

16.01.2022 Hello BOTSOnians! Old timey fans who are ready to take a jaunt outta town and see some live music will love this! Book a spot though, seating will be limited.

14.01.2022 Here are a few tunes we could do with BOTSO (when it returns): Mooncoin Jig, Kid on the Mountain and Blackberry Blossom. We wouldn't end it like this though: https://youtu.be/lXcCd-WXp38

12.01.2022 Hellooo BOTSO-ites and friends!! Helen H here.. It's been a while I know, since anyone has posted or emailed. Just confirming I've removed all the "draft" fortnightly dates for this year, that were in in our calendar of Events from back in the day when we thought we might be able to resume meeting at Siteworks, maybe starting some time in October! Sadly not to be. Obviously we'll let you know if anything changes about that. In the meantime here's hoping you are all stayi...ng safe and virus-free!! Here's a link to the fabulous Rayna Gellert, old-timey fiddler extraordinaire. This page has a number of "teaching" videos on it, including Winder Slide, under the ADAE tunings (we play it in standard tuning). They all work the same way - she plays the tune at tempo, then slower, then even more slowly. I love them because you can see her bowing clearly and copy it, if you want to get the real "feel" and old-timey rhythm into your playing. Hope you enjoyI https://www.raynagellert.com/tune-videos/
