Jake Middleton-Metcalfe Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Me, my wife and father in law recorded some of our music. Here is a set of three of our favourite slip jigs from the John Clare collection, which is the focus of our repertoire as a band, we just really love the John Clare collection. The tunes played in this recording are: Grinders, Roodlum Irish, and Drops of Drink. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vo846PPHbW0&ab_channel=ChloeMiddleton-Metcalfe We hope you enjoy it! The concertina used on this recording was one of my own, a G/D 34 key. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrP Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Thanks for the nice playing. I know the 3rd tune (with only minor variations) as a Northumbrian piper's tune and song "Wilt Thou Come Cuddle Me, Cuddie" aka "The Peacock Followed the Hen" with the "A" part of the tune in minor rather than major. Great fun to play at a good clip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
