Niamh Parsons very kindly came along to record guest vocals on two tracks: my canon 'In Gratitude I Sing' and a rather earlier one, 'New Oysters New', written by Thomas Ravenscroft back in 1609!
Noel Eccles plays his really big drum.
Trying out my new Shruti box from shrutibox.co.uk -- I used it on the Occitan troubadour song 'S'Anc Fuy Belha Ni Prezada' by Cadenet (c. 1160-c. 1235).
Rosie Shipley and Gerry O'Beirne have a laugh.
Trevor Hutchinson tests the limits of his ceiling space.
Finished! L-R: Gerry O'Beirne, Trevor Hutchinson, Sarah McQuaid, Frances Hutchinson. All of us bar Gerry are distracted by the antics of Nina the Irish setter.
Wearing my other (invisible) musical hat as a member of the Laudate! Chamber Choir, seen here after our appearance at Truro Cathedral, 4 July 2009.
With participants -- and organiser Alan Doyle -- following my DADGAD guitar workshop at the Hibernia Centre in Bristol, 16 May 2009. Many thanks to Ken Thomas for the photos!
Another pic with Alan Doyle, who also organised the concert the previous evening.

Left to right: Dee Sullivan, Mary Lawless, Sarah and Paul de Grae -- the four of whom managed to do a fine job on Sarah's canon at the Listowel gig! Celebrations at the pub across the road afterwards were deemed necessary and appropriate.
The prettiest toilet in Ireland, or so they tell me! At Gougane Barra, Co. Cork.
