Hunker Hill

This is a vlog about the James Scott Skinner tune Hunker Hill. I thought finding out about it would be straightforward but I couldn’t find anything! So here is a video about me finding out nothing and playing a beautiful tune! If you enjoy these vlogs please support my Patreon www.patreon.com/simonthoumire

Sailor On The Rock

The Devil and The Dirk

I paid a visit yesterday to the Devil’s Pulpit to play Scott’s Skinner’s rondo – The Devil and The Dirk nearly dying in the process (ok maybe not dying…).It’s a mental place which is fitting for a mental tune.
