Ptarmigan Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 (edited) We had Oban Fiddler Maurice Duncan over here last week for a wee holiday & we all enjoyed his playing so much, that I was inspired to write this wee 4 part March in honour of his visit. On the video I'm playing my Wheatstone Baritone Treble plus Nyckelharpa & Mandolin. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MucLxeRT6FQ Cheers, Dick Edited September 11, 2012 by Ptarmigan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ptarmigan Posted September 10, 2012 Author Share Posted September 10, 2012 Glad you like it Michael. I'll see if I can rustle up another version, featuring the Concertina in a slightly higher profile. Cheers, Dick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ptarmigan Posted September 10, 2012 Author Share Posted September 10, 2012 (edited) Excellent composition and playing Dick!

Ptarmigan Posted September 18, 2012 Author Share Posted September 18, 2012 (edited) Just for the record, the Sheet Music is now up, on The Session, for this tune. Sheet Music: Maurice Duncan's trip to Ballycastle Incidentally, following a couple of requests from fellow musicians, I posted another video of this tune, over on Vimeo, this time featuring video clips of me actually playing the instruments.

Cheers, Dick You mean you weren't miming, then? Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ptarmigan Posted September 19, 2012 Author Share Posted September 19, 2012 My lips are sealed Chris I think though, the good old days of Top of the Pops, showed that it's clearly a lot harder to mime playing, than to simply play the instrument, at least if you want it to look convincing. Back then I think the Drummers were the only ones who pulled it off. Cheers, Dick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
