Good music session in the pub last night - it turns out we do know some tunes after all. And we didn’t play speed the bloody Plough so that is a small victory!
I only took my D/G box, so of course others veered us towards French and Northumbrian music… should’ve taken my Serafini and must get back up to speed on my #NSP

Listening to this while making a sandwich, I couldn’t help starting to dance. It’s Tom Moore and Archie Moss’s “Pop One”.
Which means that for the first time in aages it is #TuneswapTuesday - has anyone else got a #FolkTune they’d like to share?

Ja! Stichting Draailier & Doedelzak is hier, hoera!
Zij geven elk voorjaar een supertof workshopweekend in Brabant met workshops voor (uiteraard) draailier en doedelzak, maar ook samenspel én (hoera voor mij) trekharmonica.
Ik verheug me enorm op de komende jubileum-editie en m’n workshop bij Pascale Rubens 💛
Ga ze volgen als je van #folk en #balfolk houdt:

I've not really played in about a week as my shoulder hasn't been right after some enthusiastic one-row playing... so here's someone a bit more competent playing one without hurting themselves!
Scan Tester's no.1 played by Peter Rogan - and doesn't a 4 stop in G sound glorious?!

Looks like Maugein will be reopening - though like others when they stopped this article ignores the existence of the diatonic makers Loffet, Vanglabeke, Rutkowski, Serafini, Errotabeara, etc - certainly not “the last accordion maker in France”

Given mention of La Bottine Souriante in this month’s Chatterbox, I’ve finally been getting around to learning Le Reel Des Soucoupes Volantes on the one-row… here they are playing it as my share for the first #TuneswapTuesday of 2025

I listened to the extended prerelease of this, which was awesome- find out things you never knew or didn’t realise about @squeezyjohn’s background, outlook and career, and some of the economics of the music scene. Assuming all that made the public cut!

I think I’ve mostly learned “Le Reel Des Soucoupes Volantes” on the box (as in knowing how to, not playing it in front of people with any real competence!) - not bad for “starting to look after I logged off work this afternoon”!
It doesn’t go badly on the two or three row, but I really like the simplicity of going for it on the one row - though you lose the left hand bass/chords matching “properly”…

Here’s a slightly old but quite fun rendition of JK’s “Jump at the Sun” and Philippe Plard’s “Zelda” to take the chill off the weather this #TuneswapTuesday

Vandaag voor de tweede keer de hele middag harmonicales geven in Zeist. Zin in, want we gaan mooie dingen spelen :)
Met de tekening die mijn dierbare, lieve en leuke muziekvriend Auke Eringa ooit vanuit maakte (toen ik nog een Mercedes 508 uit 1969 had).
The first #TuneswapTuesday in #Advent? Here’s @squeezyjohn playing his #Hohner Lucia in the December 3rd video of his #SqueezeboxAdventCalendar

Excellent monthly podcast from #MelBiggs as always, this time talking to #LucyHuzzard - both great box players doing awesome things, including a new joint project making a safe space #FolkMusic week for women and marginalised genders next summer. There’s a YouTube version or it is available in all the usual streaming places - https://youtu.be/QBnO6TmRvu0

A word I coined on this day in 2016:
Ofermelode: to hubristically play the diatonic button accordion too much.
As the first test train ran from Oxford to Bletchley High Level on #EWR yesterday it only seems appropriate to share The High Level Hornpipe by James Hill, played by Will Allen this #TuneswapTuesday

Listened to some Jay Ungar on the bus home and remembered I really wanted to learn Waiting For The Federals and Ashokan Farewell. But work and life keep getting in the way of everything and I’m heading for another week where I only actually get to touch my box when actually at Morris practice/events :-(
Andy Cutting and Grégory Jolivet playing “The Rose of Raby” -
Now hit me up with the #FolkTune you want to share this #TuneswapTuesday!
