A beautiful traditional English tune. We recorded this on our 2nd CD, ‘Tree of Life’ – see www.vivantmusic.co.uk
This was recorded just before the 2nd UK Covid 19 lockdown in Dec 2020.

Mark Prescott and I play as a violin/melodeon duo, Vivant. We have 2 CDs – see www.vivantmusic.co.uk
This 5 time waltz is another Stephane Delicq tune, which Mark and I are working up at the minute. With the lockdown restarting things are on pause for a bit, but we recorded this a week ago for the Vaults Bar lockdown session a few days before lockdown started again.
I’m playing the Van der Aa Compact III in G/C.

Lovely to have Mark across yesterday for what looks like being the last time in a while. This is a waltz version of the trad English tune Molly Oxford.

This mazurka was written by Stephane Delicq, whose music I’m very much into at the moment; learning up quite a few of his tunes. We haven’t recorded this on our CDs (yet) – who knows perhaps one day we will. If you’re interested in seeing what we have recorded visit www.vivantmusic.co.uk

Another set recorded during our infrequent meetups during the covid-19 epidemic. The Swedish Wedding March is ‘Brudsmarsch efter Byss-Kalle’; the Pearlfisher’s Duet is a theme from Bizet.
Recorded on our first CD; see www.vivantmusic.co.uk

Another lock down video, played on Horsefair Green in Stony Stratford
[[[ For those in the future, it’s currently June 2020, and social distancing is in place! No playing together indoors – the only way we can play together is outside. ]]]
I’m on a Castagnari Mory melodeon in D/G, and Mark’s on a … violin.

Another tune from our June 2020 lockdown music morning where we played a few tunes on Horsefair Green in Stony Stratford together. That won’t make a lot of sense if you’re watching this 10 years in the future, but right now, we are bang in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic, and are keeping 2 metres apart from each other, as is the rest of the country. Strange times. The tune is Vivre, written by Stephane Delicq.

Mark and I recorded this last night while having a run through of tunes; I’m on the Castagnari Mory in D/G, although I’m playing it in single voice (I usually use either both high reeds, or all 3 reeds).
The photography is aerial shots taken of the area around Stony Stratford, taken from this blog: http://aerialstony.blogspot.com/
