Melodeon.net’s tune of the month for March 2022, this classic bal waltz written by, and named for, French gurdy maestro Patrick Bouffard. Played on a Hohner Lucia in D/G.

A tune played for the 41st anniversary of the Vaults Bar session; we’re currently on lockdown, so this is published on the Vaults Bar online session group which has been running since lockdown on the 23rd March. As of 13 Sep 2020, it looks like it’ll be a while yet before the session returns fully. Until then, this is a favourite of mine, Michael Turner’s Waltz which I play frequently in the real session.
Played on a Castagnari Giasco I in D/G, in the key of G.

Recorded for the Vaults Bar virtual sessions during the Covid-19 lockdown of 2020. I’m recording/have recorded every set I’d typically play in a session, and this one does come out from time to time.

Another recording for the Vaults Bar lockdown session; here’s a set of slow jigs I play out from time to time. Surprised to find I hadn’t recorded Mrs Casey’s yet 🙂

Another lockdown take of a couple of tunes I play a *lot* in sessions. 2x 32 bar jigs in D, that go really together.

Another tune for the virtual Vaults Bar session during the Covid 19 ‘happening’ in August 2020 where I’m recording one by one each of the sets I’m quite likely to play down the session. A lovely air written by Chris Wood, 30 years ago. Where does the time go?

Another in the series of tunes I’m recording for the Vaults Bar virtual session while music sessions are locked down during the Covid 19 epidemic; each week, give or take, I upload one or more tunes or tune sets that I’d typically play down the session, in the key I would typical use. Play along! We’re in G.
This week, Inisheer by Thomas Walsh. This tune is played a lot around here. Played on the Castagnari Mory in D/G.

Another pair of tunes that I play fairly frequently in sessions recorded for the Vaults Bar virtual session. These have the distinct advantage of sitting perfectly on a standard 2 row D/G melodeon, but still have lots of musical possibilities. No extra basses, accidentals required.
Played on a Hohner D/G Pokerwork, during the Covid-19 lockdown of 2020.

Although it’s just the one tune, I’d still class this as a session set – something I commonly play down the Vaults Bar and other sessions. It’s in D of course, and was recorded for the Vaults Bar virtual sessions during the Covid-19 lockdown.
