A note on how to browse this blog and (perhaps) avoid confusion

Welcome!
As written in the very first post, when I started this project I wasn't very familiar with the process of setting up a blog. As I built it some bits were successful and ended up looking the way I expected, others... less!
Please refer to the Blog Archive in the menu bar on the right to better explore this blog. Posts often have descriptive titles, namely: - "On the field" entries refer to my random explorations of Oxfordshire -- and beyond. - "FolkRec" posts feature my (rigorously non-professional) folk recordings. - "Flowchart" entries display attempts to use the concept of flowcharts to describe aspects of life -- decisions, indecisions and resolutions. - "ScienceCom" posts focus on the themes of science communication and education. Unclassified entries are labelled in this way for a reason: they are totally random in content.
Please do leave comments if you fancy.
Thank you!

FolkRec - Cambridge Folk Festival

Going to Cambridge Folk Festival at the end of July was an absolutely wonderful experience. The festival, whose first edition dates from 1964, is worth going (at least once, if one is into folk music... and perhaps even if one isn't?!); I also had the chance to go with my friend Paola - such an amazing company! When I came up with the rather crazy idea of signing up for a floor spot in the Club Tent, she was very encouraging - I should really thank her for her support and the recording that she made of my open mic (which took place exactly two months ago!), as the whole experience wouldn't have been the same without her.
Here it is then - all four songs are traditional, namely:
1. Fair Nottamun Town.
2. The Recruited Collier (02:00).
3. Gathering Rushes in the Month of May (05:00).
4. The Banks of Red Roses (09:08).
