Hey, very nice. I notice you played a French mazurka. Where did you learn this? I had this noted down some 20 years ago. I'm surprised it is still being played. (or did you find it on my site - then I'm very proud)
Mazurka d'Auvergne

Sorry to ,disappoint you Michelv,but I learned this tune from a recording by the group Gentianne,probably at about the time you learned it. It was so overdone by French musicians that it became unpopular, but our group Rosbif , new to French music played it in Paris and started it off again. It must have been the added concertina that did it (I wish).

Thanks for the video clips and photos. What a brilliant weekend. Fantastic music, dance, song, wonderful people and lots more.
John and Katie Howson have certainly worked their magic again this year.
It was good to have a tune or two with Alan Day and meet Stephen Chambers for the first time - what an interesting and knowledgeable chap he is.
I'm the white haired one playing the anglo in the first clip by the way.
Looking forward to next year.

The session in the garden started about 4-30 PM and after leaving my house near Gatwick ay 10AM I arrived just as this session was starting.I had arranged to meet Graham to pick up the CDs at the Service station near to the M1 on the M25.We both had nightmare journeys Graham stuck on the M1 and me stuck on the M25. A catologue of errors continued with me chasing around Essex after Graham who missed the turning and we eventually met up.My first relaxation of the day was the Garden session and a pint of my all time favorite Adnams Ale.
It was great to meet up again with Roger Digby,Stephen Chambers,Neil Wayne, Taffy Thomas (story teller) Jeannie Harris (One row Melodion player) ,Martyn
and other concertina players who I did not know.
I was very impressed with two young East Anglian Step Dancers who were dancing to our music in the garden a young boy of about eight and his sister about five,absolutely brilliant,what a shame these video clips did not include them I would never have erased it.

Edited to change the type of dancing they were performing

No they danced just to the right of where you are standing to take the garden session video
The little lad wore a bowler hat and they were sitting at the end of the building to your right.
Sadly it was only about fifteen minutes after you videod that the children started dancing.
