Hello from Derbshire Sabrina, marvelous video's, lovely music to. Very pleased to discover Sedayne, love his ancient sounding music, most evocotive. I will be researching him after I have written this. Thankyou Sabrina for you thoughtful work. I have been to Castlerigg and Long Meg, used to live in Cumbria in the 80's. I'm gonna go to your Yt page and request friendship. Great to meet you

peace and love

wow... first of all, the video is wonderful... but i have to comment that i find it oddly entertaining to read the other responses. do something out of the ordinary and it is taken with offense or is corrected to an annoying level. "not the correct way of playing"... damn now you have to re-record the video... the amazing thing about most folk music is that it was never played in the "correct" form....

cheers i hope to hear more

I showed this to my boyfriend, and he suggested we hire you to distress the nice weekend walkers we have down my local bluebell wood next May. Woods are strictly for taking your Weimaraner for a shite round here of course. He also suggested that Pan playing his pubes with a twig, might be just a tad more authentic and traditional sounding, but it was a good job overall...

Seriously though, all good stuff. I'm gonna have to check your myspace and such.
