There?s a Whole Lotta Political Engineering Goin? On Sat Mar 15, 2025 09:00 | James Alexander
There's something distinctly illiberal about what goes under the name 'Political Science', says Prof James Alexander. Half its practitioners want to control our thoughts and the rest wonder why no one trusts government.

Rotherham is Children's Capital of Culture 2025! With workshops on diversity and being queer, it's every child's idea of fun, and the ideal tonic for unnamed traumas that definitely had nothing to do with diversity.

Don?t Expect Abolishing NHS England to Change Anything Fri Mar 14, 2025 17:05 | In-house doctor
Keir Starmer dramatically announced the closure of NHS England this week. But don't expect anything to change, says the Daily Sceptic's in-house doctor. It's returning us to the NHS pre-2012, which was no better.

Ciaran Murphy - Sarod

Ciaran Murphy plays the Sarod, its a 25 stringed lute originating from the Afgan Rebab. The sarod is the most popular and prominent instrument in Hindustani (norther n Indian) classical music. The sarod is known for a deep, weighty, introspective sound ) with sympathetic strings that give it a resonant, reverberant quality. It is a fretless instrument able to produce the continuous slides between notes known as meend, which are very important to Indian music.

Thierry Michel - Musette Béchonnet, Vegie pipes & Voice

Pipe players are usually called pipers and their fancy fingerwork pipering. Following both the French usage and avant-garde piper Jean Blanchard's definition, Thierry prefers to be called a sonneur ('sounder') and his budding art 'dronering':

-"Pipers do not merely play with drones on: we play with the drones. Precisely, we play the drones. Each note produced on the melodic chanter releases a myriad overtones from the choiring drones; a buzzing swarm or wild harmonies. A presence at times disturbing, eerie or beautiful. 'Dronering' in this regard can be seen as much as a way of listening as a way of playing."

This is what he invites you to join in as he sings and 'sounds' his French pipes or briefly give voice to plants and vegetables that rarely get a hearing: -"someone always cut them before they even get a chance, it seems!"
Thierry will play a selection of raw ballads & greens, and rare new tunes from France & the Great Beyond.
