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 closedA tune played for melodeon.net’s theme of the month for August 2020, Civil Engineering 🙂
This was written by Jon Swayne of Blowzabella, on a motorway.
Played on a Van der Aa Compact III melodeon in G/C.
Comments closedA quick run through of this on the Van der Aa melodeon in G/C for the Vaults Bar Virtual Session; we’re in C here. Recorded during the Covid-19 lockdown of 2020.
Comments closedThis tune is melodeon.net’s Tune of the Month for July 2020; a lovely trad English tune. I’ve been experimenting with video editing recently – so it’s a duet!
Played on a Hohner Pokerwork in D/G, and mixed with the Olive video editor.
Comments closedThis piece is from Bear McCreary’s score for the 2004 TV version of Battlestar Galactica. It wasn’t written with the melodeon in mind, so I’ve had to work quite hard to make it fit. It’s a lovely piece that fits on the piano too.
Played on a Van der Aa melodeon in G/C for melodeon.net’s theme of the month for July 2020, TV music.
Comments closedAnother 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.
Comments closedAlthough 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.
Played on a Castagnari Mory in D/G.
Comments closedA recording for the Vaults Bar virtual session, and a tune I would commonly play in a session. In D, played on a Castagnari D/G. Recorded during the Covid-19 lockdown of 2020.
Comments closedI heard this tune on Will Allen’s facebook feed, and it’s also on Dave Shepherd and Becky Price’s album Ashburnham. Trad English, with a very, very unfortunately topical name.
[[[ For those watching in the future, it’s currently June 2020, we’re in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic, and Dominic Cummings has just blown up the whole strategy of lockdown to control it by deciding to take his family 250 miles due north in the middle of the lockdown, while ill, and then go on a 30 mile day trip to “check his eyesight” to Barnard Castle. Honestly, check the wiki page. It’s hysterical. ]]]
Part of melodeon.net’s theme of the month for June 2020, “The Great Outdoors”, and played on a Streb electronic melodeon. I think we’re in C melodic minor.
