Hi, I'm sure you'll enjoy Soïg's playing as, when it comes to trad music on the Guitar, he's a magician. 😎 As for time signature, it sounds like a 4/4 to me. Have Fun. Cheers, Dick

Ptarmigan replied to Ptarmigan's topic in Concertina Videos & Music
To answer my own question ( 15 years later 😀 ) 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. -

Sorry Roger, I learned it by ear myself from Regis's video after asking him about the origins of the tune. He learned it from his Accordion tutor, back in Brittany, who gave no name to it, so I'm afraid you only have one option ... 👂 .. Have Fun. 😀 Cheers, Dick

An advert for this instrument has just appeared on Concertina groups of Facebook, posted by one - Kunder Lemison His fb profile reveals no information about him at all & he is not a member here. The fact that this hasn't been posted on the Duet Concertina page on facebook makes me rather suspicious, which is why I am drawing your attention to it. https://www.facebook.com/groups/irishconcertina/permalink/7511743768845262/ Cheers, Dick
