I first heard this 40+ years ago...

 

And as I’ve pointed out elsewhere, as far as I’ve been able to determine, the very first YouTube of a solo person playing a concertina in a self-made video was Danny Chapman (RatFace here on concertina.net) playing Roslin Castle in 2006.

Oh, wow, a little bit of history! That goes into the notes accompanying the tune in my ABC Tune Book! Ta!
