  1. Just found out that Julian Sutton (JS hereinafter) will be the third tutor at this year’s Halsway D/G weekend, so a little anecdote…

    About ten years ago I went to Melodeons at Witney and JS was one of the tutors. The workshop of his I went to was “all abilities” and I was very much a beginner. It was way, way beyond me and I came away massively frustrated and annoyed that it was not as pitched. Trying to learn “The Great North Run” and “93 Not Out” at great pace, suitable for beginners?! I walked out knowing I’d learnt nothing and wasted that time when I could’ve gained useful knowledge/ technique in a different workshop.

    Fast forward to last year at Halsway when playing in the bar one evening, someone started a tune and I joined in without particular difficulty although I didn’t know it, and also the one they segued into. “What were they?” I asked, “I don’t know them but seemed to be able to play them.” The reply, of course, was “The Great North Run into 93 Not Out.”
    I’m not saying I guarantee I could repeat the capability to just join in and play them, but clearly something had stuck and I’d done JS a great disservice!

  6. The Albion Band’s “Lark Rise to Candleford” was one of my childhood exposures to folk, and I still have my parents vinyl of it. Listening to it again, I had forgotten quite how good it is. Though I appreciate different tracks to I used to, I think that uplifting opening is why I have such affection for “Brighton Camp”.

    Also you can play a guessing game each time you hear a melodeon: is that John Kirkpatrick or John Tams playing it? (What, you didn’t know that Tams could play the box as well as singing, fiddling etc? Shame!)

  11. This recording from Blowzabella’s early days of the well known “Bear Dance” is listed as “Bear Dance No. 3” - so is it the/a third recording of it, or are there two other Bear Dances that didn’t become popular? Anyone know?

  16. Ik heb weer betere dagen en dat is een goede timing, want vandaag ga ik naar een muziekvriendin in Harlingen om samen een paar nummers te kiezen en te arrangeren 🥳 In april gaan we dan (twee trekharmonica’s) een paar nummers spelen bij een bal in Groningen.

    Het is altijd heerlijk om met haar te spelen, dus ik verheug me.

    Duimen dat de autoreis door de sneeuw soepel gaat (ik zal voorzichtig doen, beloofd).

  17. Today’s exciting delivery!

    For anyone interested it is Milleret-Pignol layout in “D/G” - so D/Ehm/Accs… the “G/C” equivalent works well for me, so it made sense. Yes, it is… unusual…

  18. Afgelopen zaterdag was de start van het nieuwe seizoen van de zaterdagcursus van @stdraailierdoedelzak (een half jaar lang één zaterdagmiddag per maand les). Ik gaf les aan m’n nieuwe groep halfgevorderde trekharmonicaspelers

    Tof om in zo’n eerste les al kwartjes te zien vallen en ontwikkeling te horen in het spelen. Ik ben benieuwd naar hoe ze het komende half jaar gaan groeien 💛

    (Op de eerste foto de docenten, op de tweede foto m’n klasje)

  19. Just heard that the great Jean Blanchard, bagpiper and diatonic accordionist, has died. Sad times.

    Glad we played this tune of his at the session last night youtu.be/NGB848i1FoY

  23. Ik was gisteren bij de workshopdag van @stdraailierdoedelzak en deed mee met de samenspelworkshop van Lucas Thebaut.

    Ik heb genoten en hoop jullie over een tijdje een opname te laten horen van ons arrangement van dit supermooie nummer van Philippe Conpagnon:

    m.youtube.com/watch?v=djcPP9--

    We waren met 14 mensen, waaronder twee violen, een sopraansaxofoon, een contrabas, een aantal trekharmonica’s, een paar blokfluiten, een cittern en een draailier.

  24. En ik had de deelauto vanmiddag nodig om tien huurharmonica’s bij Berend Kok op te halen voor @stdraailierdoedelzak

  25. Even een pauze bij Almere - als het goed is ben ik bij mijn tussenstop-camping rond half zeven.

    Met naast me mijn harmonica en achter me mijn trouwe fiets :)

    - op weg naar Gooik -

  26. What @folkmusic are y’all listening to this morning? The St Chartier Set at the start of Andy Cutting and Nigel Eaton’s “Panic at the Café” made a really nice start to my #TuneswapTuesday this morning - nigeleaton.bandcamp.com/album/

  27. Yep, sort of there once I get started but can’t remember how to start unaided. SOP for learning a thing really, a “few” repetitions and it will stick.
    Anyone got any recommendations for other catchy Lincolnshire folk tunes? I already have Congress at Laceby, Louth Quickstep and Quickstep From Louth in my normal repertoire.

  28. I’ve just found out that Liam Robinson is playing again, and will be appearing in a trio at the Day of Lincolnshire Folk.
    He had stopped around 2015, just as I started, due to illness and there was a whip round in his aid when I went to Melodeons and More, one of the first workshops I attended. A year or so later I picked up all three of his albums and the CDs among the few that lived in my car so they were always available when commuting. Great playing on both one row four stop and D/G, including Lincolnshire tunes that are now among my own favourites to play such as The Louth Quickstep and The Quickstep From Louth (imaginative names, huh?)
    The last I heard he was still unable to play, but working tuning/reparing church organs.
    So to say I’m pleased is an understatement :-) :-)
    Seems I will have to try rearranging my plans so I can make it to Leadenham this year!

    In other news, playing and dancing all day today with Red Cuthbert as part of Bedfringe (Bedford Fringe Festival) and tomorrow for the St Cuthbert’s Street Festival… busy busy.

  29. Le Vent Du Nord gig last night was excellent! Great music, great playing. Réjean Brunet played an interesting one (and a half?) row four stop melodeon, which despite being modern had a really archaic looking intermediate bellows frame - it did seem to have a *lot* of folds to the bellows though. Great sounding box too - does anyone know who the maker would have been?

    Anyway, check out their tunes! leventdunord.bandcamp.com/

  30. Rounded out my afternoon playing a few Blowzabella tunes, then Ingunn Bjorgo’s Askerladd Pa Avvie and the traditional Bol Olles - which for minor key tunes are both really upbeat and fun to play on the box. (Apologies for lack of accents through haste and fear of error!)

    Now a short break before heading out to see Le Vent Du Nord - fantastic!

  31. Good music session in the pub last night - it turns out we do know some tunes after all. And we didn’t play speed the bloody Plough so that is a small victory!
    I only took my D/G box, so of course others veered us towards French and Northumbrian music… should’ve taken my Serafini and must get back up to speed on my #NSP

  36. I've not really played in about a week as my shoulder hasn't been right after some enthusiastic one-row playing... so here's someone a bit more competent playing one without hurting themselves!

    Scan Tester's no.1 played by Peter Rogan - and doesn't a 4 stop in G sound glorious?!
