Estonian music:
http://www.rahvamuusika.ee/?s=257 (nice samples, full-length tunes)
For Kosovo, look in my Nine Note Tune Book:
http://www.campin.me.uk/Music/Chalumeau.abc
for "Vallja E Tri Motrave".
Recording I got it from (different key):
Bit tricky finding way around the Tallin backstreets of that Estonian site but eventually discovered four tunes to listen to at the bottom of this link
http://www.rahvamuusika.ee/?s=248
and I really liked Väike Seltsike!
Loads of ABCs on yr site !

Looks like the concertinas aren't included.
Well, what do expect, for the price?

50 nicker!?
I stay loyal to my regular brand "BibaAqua": - No, not the fashion shop on Kensington Church St., but the getting ever rarer, and hence more fashionable, waterproof, mobile, tina holder -- as stylishly carried sometimes by a lead performer at The George.

and the next Horseshoe Inn would be?

You can find timetable and venue for free (sessions and singalongs) and paid events here:
http://www.cuttywrenfolkclub.talktalk.net/SaltburnFF/Programme.pdf
Thanks for posting the link.
I'd already seen the programme - these all look organised/programmed - I was wondering if there were any fringe activities happening in the various Saltburn bars.
Yep - just a few free entries looked like potentials (I saw one sying 'bring along yr instruments'....
But this Saltburn Wiki explanation and list of pubs may help;
"As a town founded and dominated by Quakers, Saltburn originally had no public houses. Alcohol was served in the local hotels and the bars attached to them. The public houses on the lower promenade were part of Old Saltburn. In addition to The Ship Inn there was The Pelican and others. Vista Mar was first opened as tea rooms and later a fish and chip cafe.
Today the following public houses exist in Saltburn: Alexandra Vaults ("Back Alex"),The Victoria, Marine, Ship Inn, The Spa, Vista Mar (formerly Bankside, previously Rosie O'Grady's) and Windsors (formerly Queens). There are also several members' clubs: Conservative Club, Lune Street CIU, Royal British Legion, Masonic Lodge, Saltburn Golf Club, Saltburn Cricket Tennis and Bowls Club, and Swingdoors."
And praps paste this
"Saltburn-by-the-Sea pubs"
into glug-gle for other possible (drink/playing?) venues and it comes up with phone numbers - a call may help see if they have been locked into formal events and save some walking.

Mike - which other** now have Android apps please, besides latest Englitina? Looking for Anglo, Melodeon (in C/F, D/G Bflat/Eflat/ C#D) whistle (tin and wooden 19thC flageolet which is seven holes but also plus six keys)Low D whistle)?
Been waiting so long (since u started
:) ) to have a non-Apple go at these and now have in play an Asus EEE Transformer Prime (The 64GB TF201).http://www.asus.com/Eee/Eee_Pad/Eee_Pad_Transformer_Prime_TF201/
Whether its alleged gamester super speed claims will be of any relevance I do not know. it is a bit like a racing horse - v nervy and easy to make a finger swipe mistake and whole screen can disappear...! the shutdown screen key is where del key is usually on a qwerty kboard.
But it might be interesting to see how it works/copes with the rowdy sessionistas in pubs during Whitby Folk 2012 in a few weeks.
I may twist TomB's arms to try it in public as he does all the stuff:flute, whistle, acccordion, melodeon, concertina, (Welsh) pipes and voice with instrument (not the whistle or flute!)
**Here is yr site list which are Apple apps mainly
Tin Whistle (76 tunes)
Group 1
Group 2
Group 3
Wooden Flute
(15 tunes)
Uilleann Pipes
(26 tunes)
Anglo Concertina
(9 tunes)

The Conservative CLub hosts both sing arounds and session, some programmed, others spontaneous. Also sells a range of excellent real ales and has a nice garden.
One of my favourite festivals - very friendly and an excellent range of artists and events/happenings.

Pity it is not nearer timewise to Whitby (to avoid rocketing fuel bills!)and running up and down the country, tho it could praps be combined with the 15th ICCR 2012 at Harrogate where there is also going to be some French music certainly......maybe even some French toon playing English buskers might be welcome!

But I am not a very patient man!

May you quickly heal, Randy! And try not to push yourself too hard out of enthusiasm.
Just learn the words of wisdom from our lass Anlej, whose parable for your present condition is:
"You hum it pet ... I'll play it ... but not necessarily in the same key"
(This will also take the pain out of your stiffening jaw from grimacing....as you suffer the twinges of bellows exercise!)
just take it squeeze by squeeze to be safe
Pet is generally a usage with a Geordie / Wearside accent where the man going back to the doctor for another sick note to stay off work was told by his doc: "Well I think you can start to walk again now"
And the patient's response was
"Work?! I can hardly waalk doctor" (geddit??!!)
and reggub me, there is even a song which I did not know about and which you can now set about learning Randy as remedial therapy!
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geordie_dialect_words
I can;t find the song words yet (it is 0130 and I am still jet-lagged...) so if u are interested in singing it pet, rather than playing it, you can have a dig around) Written by Wilson in the 19th century) for this toon Geordie Ha'ed (or haud or haed.. meaning hold) the Bairn

You can change the key [Tonalité ]by selecting from this line after selecting your song/toon

Some can be listened to by clicking on the speaker icon along top right list starting with small letter A (reduce text size)

GENS DU PAYS HYMNE NATIONAL DE QUEBEC
I find this too tricky to play and it aint easy to sing either tho tens of thousands of Quebecers manage it en masse (
) and it is a great toon and song.Utube with words on screen sung by composer Gilles Vigneault:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdf9aqRk--0
lyrics
Voici l'intégrale de l'hymne national du Québec (peuple de la Nouvelle-France) écrit et interprété par Gilles Vigneault. C'est l'hymne le plus pacifique que je connaisse!
Québec National Anthem (pour la vaste majorité des canadiens anglais qui n'ont jamais pris la peine d'apprendre le Français)
Il démontre ce qu'est le peuple québécois: le berceau du français en Amérique, un peuple d'ouverture, d'amitié, de fraternité et de fierté.
Nous aurons notre pays francophone en Amérique un jour ou l'autre. Il faut juste y croire et travailler pour l'avoir!
Vive le Québec libre et français!
Lyrics
Le temps qu'on a pris pour se dire je t'aime
C'est le seul qui reste au bout de nos jours
Les voeux que l'on fait les fleurs que l'on sème
Chacun les récolte en soi-même
Aux beaux jardin du temps qui court
Gens du pays c'est votre tour
De vous laisser parler d'amour
Gens du pays c'est votre tour
De vous laisser parler d'amour
Le temps de s'aimer, le jour de le dire
Fond comme la neige aux doigts du printemps
Fêtons de nos joies, fêtons de nos rires
Ces yeux où nos regards se mirent
C'est demain que j'avais vingt ans
Gens du pays c'est votre tour
De vous laisser parler d'amour
Gens du pays c'est votre tour
De vous laisser parler d'amour
Le ruisseau des jours aujourd'hui s'arrête
Et forme un étang ou chacun peut voir
Comme en un miroir l'amour qu'il reflète
Pour ces coeurs à qui je souhaite
Le temps de vivre leurs espoirs
Gens du pays c'est votre tour
De vous laisser parler d'amour
Gens du pays c'est votre tour
De vous laisser parler d'amour
MORE variants here for ear learning playing:
Attached file for chords and various keys (maybe someone has already posted this very useful French song finder

Working on countries omitted from Kautilya's list... I've got a nice one from Kosovo (not easy), there is one that EVERYBODY knows which I have seen attributed to South Ossetia by somebody who should know, and there is quite a bit of free-reed-friendly music from Abkhazia, Dagestan and Chechnya, will try to find something workable. Transdnistria and Kalmykia are a bit more difficult. Can you imagine this in the Resolution?
The first territory to adopt the euro was Réunion, since it's part of France and a long way east of most of it. Quebec isn't part of France but St Pierre and Miquelon are. The furthest-away place that's legally part of Europe is Bouvet Island, a piece of Norway. Penguin songs anybody?
Liechtenstein? Is it actually big enough that you can play a tune on the concertina without having at least one elbow in a different country?
I think I'll pass on that Klamydia one (or wherever it is called) - someone else can probably pick it up more easily...
:rolleyes: I remember Martin Bangemann (not from Klamydia) saying at the LSE that maybe Quebec and Canada should originally have been part of the EEC when founded; and René Lévesque in Brussels with Paul-Henri Spaark above a pub in 1972, so I reckon we can include the unofficial Quebec ( can;t find those accents,...)anthem which, thanks to one of our Canadian colleagues, is coming up in another post shortly.

We went to Durham this weekend and saw the site of the gaol where Jamie Allan the famous small pipes player was held. He was not hung but died in captivity aged 77, just before his pardon was announced! I played the tune named after him on my newly aquired Bb/F Lachenal anglo, in F of course!
here's an article on him

Luv to hear you playing it...........

- will now have to work out out which ones actually pass The Resolution which is a few steps back up the hill from the Elsinore.
both the 91 and 98 should go down St. Hilda's Terrace / top Flowergate then Brunswick Street on the return journeys to the bus station. There's a handy bus stop just before the junction of Silver Street with St. Hilda's Terrace, get off there and it's a short stroll down to both the Resolution and the Elsinore 
,,,,,, miss that stop and the next drop off is outside Boyes Store and a steep haul back up Brunswick Street
Ta - alles klaar! (a German song trying to get out there!)
I now realise the easy way into The Resolution from that bus stop would be by then using the Resolution main door which is rather hidden, just a few yards up Skinner St on the right -- this goes on the flat past reception-
Whereas the lower Resolution door on StHilda's, just a few yards above a snicket and the Elsinore has about 20 steep lobby steps to get you up into the main Resolution bar.

Great! - Always wanted to meet Dracula on the No1 or 1A - is this true about use:
"Using your pass outside London
If you've got a [RED!]rose symbol or a bus hologram on your pass you can use it on local buses all over England. You can use it between 09:30 and 23:00 on weekdays and at any time on weekends and public holidays.
[i hope the Red rose wont mean holders will be handbagged by White Rosers of Yorkshire?!]

PS for firstimers to Whitby the omnipresent hills in the various narrow strees in and around town can be real killers if you are a poor walker.
Hence the usefulness of Anlej's bus tips - will now have to work out out which ones actually pass The Resolution which is a few steps back up the hill from the Elsinore. The latter is a very tight on space compared with the Resolution's big armchairs, wide dancing/seating area below the dining area and of course that long bar.......
Pre practising by ear:
alas no Monday but
all in one place rather than digging around:

Our Euro-sessions Anglo-meistress is already Mata-Hariing on the ground, but may be useful for anyone planning to be there to collate thoughts here?
Some folk are already known to be arriving only on 20th, to avoid concatenations with the Regatta people.
There is discussion elsewhere of what constitutes a Euro-toon. Should we warn off the five Russian singers who performed last year and were accompanied by most instrumentalists?
To make sure everyone can join in any of the foreign tunes one suggestions has been to put up (here?) any of your planned toons as dots, abc, midi, youtube (Anlej often uses youtube alone to learn a new tune by ear) or a straigt MP3 recording of yr own.
It might help if new melodies were played through three times, Last year they often started but played only one or twice through. So other players could not pick up and playalong.
Countries which did not make it last year included Greece, Spain, Nederlands and.............?? Does la musique québécoise count as French ou non?
Check yr memory toon banks against the list of member, candidate, associate and plain European countries. The Vatican is there so Latin toons must be up for playing I suppose!? The Day of Wrath approaches:
here's the straight, (rather gutless and overpolite version sounding like a Sunday picnic) -- (perhaps Dirge could help with a model thunderous version praps) lowed by two bellows machines which pick up the Gregorian melody at around 1.19

Great moves and mood shifts there. Couldnt make out what box it is (I would have been distracted by a souwester and umbrella just as much as your tan tenue!)
Thank you for your kind words! It's a Wheatstone English. I am puzzled by your last comment. What is tan tenue?
sun-tan-seeking keep super fit rollerbladers! (e.g. about pic number 10 - first lot of pics look like middle of winter!

Obviously a learner's box. Designed to stretch your abilities.
We might preferably say, expand your abilities...
Perhaps not very PC of you to talk of putting a member of the Taffia on the rack to extract notes (Lira!)from them, or have I got the wrong end of the stick (of rock)? (After all Anne Robinson was born just about half way between North Wales and ......)

Five Foot Flirt
(Cyril Tawney)
Now don't say Jim Johnson weren't with 'ee last night
I heard him as plain as can be
I was crossing the mound when I heard a strange sound
Down by the sycamore tree
I thought perhaps a cow had got stuck in the mud
And pulled out its foot with a moo
But I'm satisfied now that that noise weren't a cow
It was Jim kissing you
You'm a five foot flirt wi' the face of an angel
You better had leave I alone
Why the way you're acting it nearly unnerves I
The thing that preserves I is my joviality
Though I've got trouble as thick as the stubble
It's you that's the worst of them all
Get out of my track and if you want to come back
You can crawl, crawl, crawl.
Remember what happened last Saturday night
The air was so peaceful and still
Like a bolt from the blue came a hullabaloo
A growling and a cackling so shrill
It came to my head as I leapt from my bed
There's a fox at my chickens, that's true
I crept out in my socks and bumped into the fox
It was Jim kissing you
CHORUS
Now what's your excuse for last Sunday in church
It fair turned the poor vicar grey
While the organist was rendering, "Lead Kindly Light"
Jim Johnson kept pumping away
Then all of a sudden the organ stopped short
The vicar got into a stew
When he went round behind tell me what did he find
He found Jim kissing you
CHORUS

Hi,
I hope this is appropriate to share. I have been composing for decades, but now am focusing on re-arranging classical and classic songs for piano, often with guitar chords, and some for my own trio idea: bass-piano-violin.
Vivaldi, Tchaikovsky, Strauss, Bellini, oh so many you just have to look for yourself.
I gathered everything and put it in a site, simply a sortable list of all of the above. OK nice random pictures and silly music jokes to keep it lively.
Comments appreciated! Happy practicing!
Very good idea and v helpful. Tku!
I tried open some of the .mus files.
Are they sound or just score?
I have musette on my system but it did not come into operation - your file file opened, with one line of score and then error messsage said something like this is not a musette file.
So not sure how to proceed with those
The midis worked fine.
-
Ah. Thanks for that. I didn't twig that it's an oboe solo short of a six pack.
I never saw any six pack when you were playing at ECMW in your vest -- more of a six-fold beer bellows....
Re:OBuggerOe!
We now know,as the saying goes "You can't drag a horse to Dirgemoor in order to drown it in the river":
So you must now go from Exmoor to PYongyang via Albany (watch our for commission agents Shanghaiing beer drinkers with chloroform to force em to play tina in HM Royal Navy) then Copenhagen, then Trondheim where your destiny will be fulfilled (well... I keep on hoping!)
Cant pull up the link to thread but look for North Korea accordion y'day or so....
:) -
I saw the article and the picture the other day, but didn't notice the accordion (or any other details in the mural).
You must have been sedated- did you leave the gas on after the patient went to recovery?LoL
It's a communist capitalist royalist thing: US tina players always considered playing accordion and harmonica (Mr Adler) were un-American Activities!
Check hemlines in the first on this list:
http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=%22NORTH+KOREA+ACCORDIONS%22
and check hemlines here with another kind of squeezebox at royalist performance
AND FINALLY ( we have been here before) but yr cursor on the next link, CLOSE YOUR EYES AND DO NOT LOOK JUST LISTEN TO VISUALISE DIRGE IN FULL FLOW
and using those wonderful deep bass notes.
I thought there was a more complete version of that but I cannot find it just now.
-
I just want to make sure everyone reading this understands what "continuo" is all about (as in "Sonata in B flat major HWV.357, ed. Dart for oboe and continuo").
Continuo is a kind of instrumental accompaniment used frequently by baroque composers where neither the instrumentation nor the actual notes are specified by the composer. All the composer sets down are a bass line and some numbers associated with it ("Figured Bass") that suggest what notes to play over the bass line. It usually takes two people to play a continuo part: one (a bassoon or cello or bass viola da gamba, etc.) playing the bass line and the other (a harpsichord or lute, etc.) also playing the bass line and filling in the upper notes by improvising on the figured bass. So in the recording in question, the oboe is playing the solo part, the harpsichord is playing the bass line with the left hand and filling in the figures with the right (most modern music publishers supply a suggested right-hand part that follows the figures so the performer doesn't have to make it all up on the spot) and the bassoon is doubling the bass line.
By the way, "ed. Dart" means "edited by Dart" which is Thurston Dart, a harpsichordist and musicologist.
which, without the harpsichord,spells out why it is perfect for a two-handed tina player with a Dirgeload of buttons! Einstein was just commenting at the barber's the other day that of course the space-time continuum is much fuller when string theory is brought into play so in fact, he suggested, these toons are probably more suitable for fiddlers....
Dirge - is this score any use (tho for orgue)

No mention of the Isle of Man?
I have put a few Manx tunes in the Tune-O Tron, have a go at Peter o'Tavy. It is normally played a tad slower than the midi file. Hope to catch up with the session this year.
Any chance of a quick link? - not sure how to find tunes in Tune-O-tron - just able to paste abc's in it to "submit"
But I found this:
this is perhaps my favourite Manx sound
