SimonThoumire Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Hi Guys, I won’t swamp you with my videos but here is another one where I looked at classical music played as folk music. Is a Beethoven's 5th A Slide? 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been hanging around for nearly 10 years and your performance says in the songs you played as well as your theater It was extremely beautiful to hear And entertainingyou play the English Concertina to the degree and skills you have. I can’t believe how fast your fingers I work in the buttons. What is the make and model of the concept you’re playing absolutely gorgeous Stephentx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m playing a metal ended Wheatstone Aeola. It should be noted that Simon holds the English Concertina in a unique way. He doesn’t use the pinkie rests, and his fingers approach the buttons from a different angle than most. It allows him to do some amazing things!

Robin Harrison Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Wonderful stuff, Simon !!..........I love the intersection of classical and folk music. Here are a few that HAVE made it into the folk canon that immediately come to mind. Hole in the Wall...attrib. Purcell. Huntsman's Chorus.... Weber Sun Assembly & Sunbury Common.....Handel ( Harmonious Blacksmith) I'd love to hear your take on these two last Handel tunes!
