simon_thoumire Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Hi there, This video was recorded at our concert on 4th March 2016 on the beautiful Isle of Skye! I’ve cut out all the chat and applause (where possible) so if you are looking for the jokes (and not many people are) then come and see us live :-) https://youtu.be/dEOdGw_fM9g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Wilson Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Thanks for sharing this Simon, I had a quick squizz and realized I've a major entertainment event for later in my day. Over an hour of you guys playing, fantastic. Pity about the jokes being cut out, now I'll just have to be satisfied with some boring concer playing (just joking). I would love to see yourself and Ian live but it would be twenty hours on a plane and some thousands of dollars. Have you thought about touring Australia (and NZ). I'm not sure how economic it would be but hopefully you could cover costs. Brian Peters is appearing at our National Folk Festival in Canberra this Easter, maybe have a word with him about touring. You'd have to be on the ball about applying for NFF. Applications are in June only (one month!) for the following year. You'd certainly pick up other gigs around the country. Sooner or later I'll have to catch up face to face. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon_thoumire Posted March 10, 2016 Author Share Posted March 10, 2016 Thanks Steve :-) I haven't been over to Australia since 2002 but hopefully I'll make it when the kids are older! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawrence Reeves Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Lovely playing, and a great sense of emotion throughout. You make the concertina laugh when you laugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defra Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Breathtaking stuff Simon. Hope to get to see you live one day, definitely if you return to Parthenay. Many thanks. Dean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon_thoumire Posted March 11, 2016 Author Share Posted March 11, 2016 (edited) Thanks guys. It was great to play a gig every night - something I never do anymore! It's amazing how the fingers get fitter with every gig. This was the 7th gig in the tour and I personally felt there was always another level that could be achieved if needed. My concertina felt 'greased up' although it also had the feeling of about to break! I need to do more!
