nigel eaton

nicely done elke, your link worked fine for me, rock on!!

Nigel - thanks for stopping by and thanks for giving us such a great tune to work on this month! I'm still waiting for a version with concertina and hurdy gurdy, but that may be too much to hope for. I ought to be able to organise that from where I live.... I'll see if I can interest my neighbours.... Oh and Hi Nigel!! hello mate long time huh?

hello mate!!, long time huh

ps theres some more of my versions on https://soundcloud.com/nigeleaton

Dear concertina.net i just stopped by to thank you guys for choosing my tune this month, of course it's been overwhelming to see the posts and hear the fabulous versions, there's actually 162 versions now, most of which can be seen and heard on the facebook page "Halsway and The Halsway Carol" I've reposted the links you've been so kind to post here on the fb page also. I've also sent them to the main Dutch Halsway site set up by a fan of the tune in Holland, they've been added to the list, (please say if any of you would prefer your version to be removed, I really hope none of you do, they are all totally lovely) anyway he's the chap who subtitled the site "The ultimate international tune" thing, it's not a claim i make of course, the expression might be somewhat lost in translation. I've been enjoying the discussion and comments, I'm so delighted you've found new ways to perform the tune and that it works so well on the concertina, with such varied chords and accompaniments too! I hope you keep 'em coming, gratefully yours nige http://halsway.musicwebdesign.nl/
