Alan Day Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 I am already doing a hundred lines for Irene for my spelling mistakes Lester. Not another 100 I hope. being that I have two melodeons I should know better. Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cplayer Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Hello Alan The tune was from the late Jim Harding when he was with Southdowns Morris,One of a few tunes that he composed and are still played down in Sussex. Bryan Hawes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if Wheatstone had made a deluxe model, would it have been a melodæon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hjcjones Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 I first heard this tune years ago played by Roger Watson, and later by Dave Prebble, but I finally managed to get it down from John Percy, who sent me this recording of Jim Harding playing it: https://soundcloud.com/howardj Also my own efforts, on melodeon and anglo, recorded for the melodeon.net TOM. It's a tune which I think greatly benefits from being played with a bit of subtlety, which Alan of course achieves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy2v Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 A first concertina tune for me played on cg 30 button Anglo from Chris Algar. I'm a melodeon player really so this was a lovely new experience finding out that the concertina has so many options for arrangement etc. Very excited to be learning this instrument now if I can find the time to do so. Bit of hesitation and lack of left hand dexterity but a good reminder about learning an instrument. I liked this tune as a starter because it fitted so well. Apologies if not quite as written but done on memory. Looking forward to listening to those on here now http://youtu.be/9guSrFVJIJs Cheers Sandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
