Month: November 2013

The Blossom and the Rain, composed by Brian Peters,

Melodeon.net’s tune of the month for November 2013, and not one I’ve played before. Heard lots of times yes, but not played. So here we are, practiced up for a couple of days, and it’s really rather lovely, isn’t it? Written by (and played with kind permission of) Brian Peters, a fine singer/guitarist/concertina/melodeon player from Derbyshire, UK.

The Dark Hill, Composed by John Close

A gorgeous slow air/waltz composed by the late John Close of Milton Keynes. John wrote many great songs, some funny, some not, and occasionally the odd tune like this. Played by Clive Williams on a Hohner Preciosa in Bb/Eb; part of Melodeon.net’s Theme of the Month for November 2013, Local Tunes (I live in Milton Keynes and knew John well).
