adrian brown Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 It's - Despite having lived in Shoreditch as a teenager, there's A Little Bit too much of the Dick van Dyke about the Cockney for my liking, but I know what I have to work on :-) Hope you'll enjoy it anyway, and won't be put off coming to see us in Ilkley, Yorkshire next month.Adrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf Molkentin Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I've been lucky enough to get a live rendition of this thing last Saturday at the German Concertina Meeting... As great as this video promises... Thank you Adrian & Susanna (and Robert for the weekend all in all)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adrian brown Posted March 19, 2013 Author Share Posted March 19, 2013 Thanks for all your kind comments. I'd actually like to do this piece a bit faster - Harry Champion takes it at a blistering tempo on his - somewhere in the 130+ b.p.m. range! But it's quite a tricky thing to perform and every metronome tick faster, seems to increase my failure rate by 10% or so... I pretty much follow the piano score of the published version, which is a slightly different tune to the original recording, but I transposed it to F major to suit my voice more.Adrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
