An Index of Clive Williams' Melodeon Videos from YouTube
I’m having another go at melodeon.net’s tune of the month, this time in D because I wasn’t happy with the recording quality on my first go earlier in the month.
This go is on a Castagnari Giasco in D/G, and recorded directly onto phone, warts and all. This is a Roger Tallroth tune, of Vasen fame.
Comments closedAnother lockdown take of a couple of tunes I play a *lot* in sessions. 2x 32 bar jigs in D, that go really together.
Played on a Castagnari Giasco I in D/G.
Comments closedRecorded both for the Vaults Bar virtual session, and the melodeon.net theme of the month ‘Favourite tunes’. These are the tunes I will normally play if we get into playing the last thing at the end of a session. Good, fun tunes that everyone can join in, but have something about them too. The gap at the end of the last time through of Speed the Plough is so I can shout ‘out’ at the end, by the way – playing and talking are hard 🙂
Recorded on a Castagnari Giasco I in D/G.
Comments closed2 irish jigs played in a not-very-irish style. Great tunes both. Arrangement very much influenced by the version Chris Wood and Andy Cutting used to play, a *long* time ago.
Played on a D/G Castagnari Giasco I
Comments closedA quick recording for the virtual vaults session! My mate Dave Chatterley wrote this and posted a version of it on mandolin yesterday – great tune Dave!
Comments closedA somewhat more laid back version of this tune than the video I learned it from! French canadian, put also popular in the bluegrass and canadian traditions.
Played on a Castagnari Giasco I D/G in D.
Melodeon.net tune of the month for March 2020.
Comments closedThis is January 2019’s tune of the month from Melodeon.net – a lovely tune written by Annlaug Borsheim, a hardanger fiddle player and singer from Norway. A lovely slow jig, here played in D on a D/G Castagnari Giasco I.
Comments closedVery appropriately, the tune to this french anti-war song is tune of the month at melodeon.net for November 2018. Played on a Castagnari Giasco I in D/G in the key of D (in fact entirely on the D row).
Comments closedMelodeon.net’s tune of the month for March 2018 is Tripping Upstairs; a popular jig. Here played on a Castagnari Giasco I (effectively a 12 bass Lilly) in D/G, pretty much all apart from the occasional note on the D row.
Comments closedCyrille Brotto is a *fantastic* French melodeon player, on a different level from us mere mortals. This is one of his more famous tunes, a lovely mazurka, as played in his duo Brotto-Lopez (but without the singing!).
Played on a Castagnari Giasco in D/G, mostly on the G row, though it’s one of those tunes where I’m not entirely sure what key it is – one of the less common minor keys I think.
Obligatory improvised section 3rd time through 🙂
