Squeezebox Of Delights Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 I picked the following piece of music up a while ago from a video of a mechanical accordion. Unfortunately the video did not give the name of the tune, and I thought Concertina.net might be a good place to find answers. Does anyone know what the tune is called, or any more information on it? (I know it's played on a piano accordion, but that is the instrument I can play it best on!) Thanks, Oskar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Barnert Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 I’ve always seen it spelled “Garryowen.” The tune was used to great effect in the 1970 Dustin Hoffman film, “Little Big Man.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikefule Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 The tune is also "The Walk of the Twopenny Postman": a Morris dance tune for a dance from Fieldtown (Leafield) in Oxfordshire. https://themorrisring.org/sites/default/files/sheetmusic/fieldtownWalkoftheTwopennyPostman.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
