Second Album Review by Bruce Eder
This record stands in British music history and Carthy's career roughly where Another Side of Bob Dylan does in American music--the more florrid tracks here, recorded with violinist Dave Swarbrick, show the path to the bridge between Carthy's traditional singer/scholar background and the folk-rock played by bands such as Fairport Convention and Steeleye Span. "Lord Franklin" is a narrative tour-de-force (from which Bob Dylan got the melody for "Bob Dylan's Dream" on Freewheelin' ), "Ramblin' Sailor" is boisterous cautionary tale about the company the title character keeps ashore, and there's also an acoustic recording of "Sailor's Life," a song that Fairport Convention would transmute into an epic electric version, and "Lowlands of Holland," which Steeleye Span later recorded.

The Copper Family #EnglishFolk
#Rottingdean ( in the past) had a family of farm labourers who sung. There's a whole big history thing on them #CopperFamily
I thought I should put one track in June playlist. But what to come after it? Apparently DPR Ian "Avalon" works quite well...

The musical arrangements for these eight pieces included early music instruments, such as viols, recorders, sackbuts and crumhorns.
Side 1 of the original album consists of "A song-story", a suite of folk songs which depict the changes in rural England brought about by the First World War, and the disconnection that this created with folk traditions. Recorded with an ensemble of early music instruments, it was a completely unique approach to recording English folk music.. - Wikipedia

The Sun and the Moon - by Don Shepherd
As moons are all the rage today, I thought this post would be good to reshare:
It's a beautiful piece of music. Don played at our wedding as @StevenKennard , Mike Mann and he were in a band together.
Enjoy!

Paul Sadler 🏴🇬🇧 The Irrational EP
(07.02.25)
"...although Paul Sadler can enchant and overwhelm with his voice from the first to the last second, his vocal lines lack the last μ of catchiness, so that the pieces would become irretrievably ingrained in one's memory.

You can read more about Percy in an article about him on Rod Stradling's excellent Mustrad website:
https://www.mustrad.org.uk/articles/p_brown.htm
Percy Brown has been an inspiration to many English melodeon players (including myself) through his recordings.
If you want to know more about this particular video clip, I'd suggest contacting the East Anglian Music Traditional Music Trust. All of this is not quite as obscure, or dead, as some people seem to assume 🙂
The melodeon player is Percy Brown. He's playing what Hohner calls the "Vienna Model 2915", in England almost universally called the "Hohner Pokerwork." It has two rows of buttons and this one is in the keys of D and G.
The tune that Percy is playing is called the Yarmouth Breakdown. You can hear him playing it on the classic LP "English Country Music from East Anglia":

So true about all the different styles and traditions.
From my perspective, the list of "favourites", or maybe influences or summat, would be entirely different with a very different type of accordion.
Here's a little taste of the type of thing we (to this level, I wish!) get up to with much more "limited" instruments (a one-row 4-stop diatonic, on the left of the line-up in the picture):
Just a "shout-out" for the Wigan Diggers Festival.
With all the fascist thuggery going on right now, come and join in on some socialist camaraderie in Wigan on September 7th.
(Oh, and I'll be playing there with Greenman Rising).

A quick post by way of #Introduction as I am moving here from a different instance. My bio is mostly about my turning work, but I am also interested in music of most genres, particularly #EnglishFolk or #traditionalMusic (I play the button accordion) and #classicalMusic .

Good old Lester Bailey playing Albert Farmer’s Bonfire Tune on a one row four stop - classic for #TuneswapTuesday
I do love the sound and simplicity of the HA114 - I should play mine more. Not having to make decisions about cross rowing or what chords to play is a bonus!
