steven r. arntson Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Great material, excellent playing, and a wonderful arrangement! I've been recently interested in music written for the hardanger fiddle, and hadn't known of any concertina players who were doing this kind of thing--it's inspiring to hear it done so well. Thanks for posting this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for posting this! Many thanks. I play almost exclusively Nordic music on concertina - especially for dance. I'm hoping to play for dance at a festival in Sweden in a few weeks time.

Tradman Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 I haven't posted anything for a while, but here's a cool (and rather eccentric) polska I recently started playing again on concertina. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveS Posted November 22, 2019 Author Share Posted November 22, 2019 Here's another polska - Säbb Johns Polska from Vikarbyn, Rättvik, Dalarna. I heard this tune played by a super fiddler for a dance near Rättvik this summer past and knew immediately that I wanted to learn it.

SteveS Posted January 26, 2020 Author Share Posted January 26, 2020 (edited) Here is a short video of me playing for dancing, together with Jamie Huddleston on guitar. We're playing a tune called Impis Vals'n - a Finnish waltz that I believe was collected in northern Sweden from Finnish refugees just after WW2. Jamie and I played a set of Finnish tunes that included tango, jenka, humppa and waltz, but unfortunately only this short clip was recorded.

SteveS Posted July 25, 2021 Author Share Posted July 25, 2021 (edited) It's been quite a while since I last posted any Nordic tunes. Here are a set of tunes that Gill Redmond (cello) and I played for dancing about 2 years ago. The set also features shruti box and härjedalspipa. also this waltz https://www.dropbox.com/s/tdrv1quaz7uuvpv/IMG_5397.MOV?dl=0 Edited July 26, 2021 by SteveS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
