Whilst I'm not entirely sure what the next song'll be, I should think it'll be played on my New Fiddle, which we bought just yesterday in Forsyth's in MCR. It's an amatuer-made piece of Folk Art Treen basically, made by one George Elder in Didsbury in 1921. Has to be seen (and heard) to be believed, but I had a go & fell in love and I like to think it's mutual! Unmuted, it's louder than I can possibly sing (which is saying something) but muted it's got this warm buzz like a meadow of bees on a summer day.

Of course, it wasn't until we were on the tram back to the Ladywell P&R that I realised I wanted it, so we dived off at Deansgate-Castlefield and dashed up Deansgate to Forsyths with 10 minutes to spare before closing. Phew!
