Return from Helsinki

[michael sam wild]

I learned this from Tom Brown ( flute and button accordion player) at the Bull Bay session on Anglesey over Easter. It's by Ian Stephenson who was studying folk music at the Sibelius school in Helsinki. Apparently his parents in the North East had sold the family home and he had a trip to see the empty house for the last time. Poignant.

I just listened to it on a sample from his Album Line -Up

So I should bring some copies of Line Up for sale at Swaledale, should I?

 

(He asks wearing Roots2Music hat) Actually, there is a reasonable concertina connection: Alistair Anderson wrote some of the tunes and plays on the CD. Emily plays viola on one track and has a tune named for her. (Declaration of second interest. Emily has taught concertina classes I have been in and is teaching me to play fiddle.)

 

See y'all in Swaledale

Thanks Roger. I just ordered it direct from Ian .

 

Here's our shot at it we love it so much

 

 

 

See you in Swaledale.!
