    Hello, our gigs at the beginning of the month were well attended with some wonderful feedback. We have a couple of gigs between now and the New Year, one in Lakefield at the Canoe and Paddle, and a couple of church services - though we are FREE on NYE so if you are music-less and have loads of spare cash, we are looking for a gig!
    Clan Hannigan will have our own website in the New Year, it's currently being built. Meanwhile still 'like' us on the book of face.
    Thanks for continuing to support local talent and if we don't see you before, have a very safe winter, unless you're in Australia, in which case, don't get sunburnt!

 

 

Here is a link to a Christmas Carols video on Nyckelharpa that Saskia played and Steafan put together while the kids were in bed to say thank-you for your support over the years:

A Nyckelharpa Christmas

 

Saskia's own Promotion box...
Today I launched a my very own 
Patreon.com page.
As part of our continued battle to keep being musicians whilst feeding the family, I have bitten the bullet. It's a way of artists being supported by the bigger wider world - a digital version of the old-style Patrons of the arts - virtual busking without the traffic or the weather. Throw a dollar in my case - entirely up to you how much and how often. A bit like crowd-funding but on a continuing basis.
Go and have a look - there are some amazing artists and creative thinkers on the site!
I would be grateful if you would share with your art-loving friends, and if you have a Patreon page, let me know, we can support each other. Look for
Saskia Tomkins. The cool thing is, at the moment, I'm the only Nyckelharpa player on there!
Feel absolutely no obligation to become a monetary Patron - my youtube videos are free, and will be, always! Clicking the thumbs up button helps with views. And if what you do is come to gigs to be an audience, then that is the most valuable of all!

Peace! x

A new shipment of Christian Hedwitschak bodhrans coming in the new year - go on, you know you want one! Contact Steafan directly

A sad, personal note for our family this Christmas, it's the first year we won't have Santa in our lives.
No longer Ho ho, more Ho hum.
