very nice! i just sat down this morning to learn it on guitar from Soig’s track on the album Guitares Celtiques. I did a search for other versions and yours was at the top. Not quite sure yet what time signature it’s in or if it’s irregular.

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

True story - it was that recording of 'Salmon Tails' which really decided me to get stuck in and learn to play the thing - brilliant - a belated thank you!
Hey Roger, don't blame me! ... 😀😀😀

Does anyone here have any links to Northumbrian Pipes & Concertina being played together on YouTube?
Links to sound files of that combination, would also be very useful?

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#.

I believe that Andy May (Northumbrian pipes) and Rob Say (Pipes and concertina) have a CD in preparation. I know they did some recording this Spring, but I don't know how near they are to releasing it. I'll ask next time I see either of them.
Hi Theo,
I stumbled on this old comment today & wondered if Andy & Rob ever did release a Northumbrian Pipes & Concertina CD?

Such is life! Thanks anyway...
Incidentally, where is the picture? It rocky enough to be Brittany - not a good place to be in a yacht on a dark and stormy night with an onshore wind...
I took that on the Causeway Coast, looking past Dunluce Castle towards the Giants Causeway. 😀

That's extremely nice!! ABC code/score anywhere, or am I going to have to try and 'earole' it? I can't see it anywhere in 'the usual places'...
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. 😀

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.
