Northumbrian Pipes & Concertina?

To answer my own question ( 15 years later ๐ ) here are links to a few videos I have posted, in recent years, of those two instruments being played together. i.e. - Myself on Baritone Treble English Concertina and Sam Fleming on Northumbrian Pipes. Thankfully, for me, Sam's Pipes are in F & not F#. Cheers, Dick #5: Lamshaws Fancy, Herd on the Hill & Holmes Fancy, by the inglenook fire in the Bushmills Inn, on the Causeway Coast of Co. Antrim. -
