About nicholas williams

I'm a blackwood and bamboo flute player from Montreal who plays a variety of traditional and not-so traditional styles of music. Since graduating from York University, I've been immersed in Irish, Quebecois, Scottish, and Breton music. I've also studied the bansuri (North Indian bamboo flute), and am having fun exploring the common ground between North Indian and Celtic music.

I also play Accordion, Piano, Melodica, and a bit of Bodhran.

I'm really into writing original music,and have written pieces for film, dance, my own recordings, and bands that I play with - please check out Crowfoot if you haven't done so already!

David Franks: Walkabouts Verse	Dec 6 2009 10:39 AM After you've finished here, you may like to hear this folk-carol on myspace... Poem 230 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (see my blog for details): CHRISTMAS SUNG SIMPLY As gospellers have said, Beneath signalling skies, On land dusty to tread, A trough in a stable Was the strawy first-bed Of a divine baby - The forgiving Godhead. A season for new hope - There then and here now; The yuletide of goodwill - There then and here now. In respect of this chance, Beneath bright or dark skies, Faith's the star that we glance Attending Christ's churches And trying to enhance, With singing and ritual, Our God-loving stance. A...

David Franks: Walkabouts Verse	Oct 11 2009 1:59 PM After you've finished here, you may like to hear this poem sung on myspace... Poem 162 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): TEES TO TYNE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS - SUMMER 2001 Where traditions are not so rare; Sea, country and works scent the air; A multitude of monuments, Planted tubs and patterned pavements. The longish pedestrian malls; The remnants of defensive walls; Historic buildings are a gauge Of the respect for heritage. Wheat, rape and pines in the fields; Estuaries guarded by shields; Long sandy beaches and wide scenes; Romantic-ruin go-betweens. Rivers in parts licked by trees, Or fringed by boat clubs, wharfs, gantries, And crossed by practical delights - Varied spans, forming pleasing sights. Fine churches headed at Durham; Football kits ad infinitum; Kept castles - one for study; Masonry behind masonry. And, with moulding-works out that way, It’s somewhere for a longer stay..?

David Franks: Walkabouts Verse	Jun 25 2009 8:50 PM (Hi: enjoyed my visit.) After you've finished here, you may like to hear this poem sung on myspace... Poem 2 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): WALKABOUT WITH MY PEN Once drove an old sedan, up north, From a place in Sydney to Cairns; Then to Kuranda I went forth, By train, to look without set plans. I browsed through the trendy market, With fresh fruits of tropical kind; Walked to the creek through lush thicket - Nature’s hand giving peace of mind. I dined in a scenic cafe; Then, outside, as I wrote for yen, Some passing Kooris called-out: “Hey, You go walkabout with your pen.” Request or question, I don’t know - Assured voices, elderly men. That’s now several years ago, And I’ve seen the world - with my pen. (C) David Franks 2003

Saratoga Pan-Celtic Session	Dec 8 2007 2:36 PM Sorry about the spam, this is your official "thanks for the ad." Haven't had many blackwood flute players visit our jam, but we did have a Japanese bamboo flute player, who was visiting Skidmore College, sit in. He lead the jam in a whole different direction.
