tradition.is was thoroughly enjoyable and filled with excellent music+dancing — met new friends, learned new tunes+dances+singing styles and generally had a good time. Longer blog post upcoming, for now here’s my post-festival #tabdump:

Not all necessarily related to the festival, but learned about in the duration. Amusingly, last.fm/music/BLM has a big photo of the BLM which performed at tradition.is, but is about someone completely different!

Partial list of tunes learnt over this summer’s festival trip:

• L’Inconnu de Limoise
• William Taylor’s Tabletop Hornpipe
• De Montford
• Superfly
• I’m Not Fed Up With The Pacific Ocean
• Mazurka de Gilles Chabenat

Several more unlisted due to not being on the web (or I can’t spell them properly).

Had to repair my headphones yet again so went to @hakkavelin, started experimenting with #gurdy wheel speed measuring devices. Got a basic Vishay CNY70 reflective optical sensor circuit working, soldered into my PIC demo board for initial testing before I make a tiny package to go on the gurdy itself.
