An Index of Clive Williams' Melodeon Videos from YouTube
Well, I like this tune. It made tune of the month after we all saw a lovely take on it by Roland Carson, so I’ve learned it up, and here we are. It seems to sit on this box, a Castagnari Giasco I in D/G just beautifully – like it was made for this tune. It’s an O’Carolan air of course.
Melodeon.net tune of the month for June 2017
Comments closed2 fantastic tunes written by Huw Williams (no relation!) and played as a showstopping set in the middle of Huw and Tony Williams’ gigs. Huw would lament how he’d right all these fantastic songs – he’s an outstanding songwriter, singer and guitarist – then people would come up and go ‘play the melodeon one mate’ … and this is it. Freakishly inventive and really quite tricky… talented, talented chap is old Huw. Played on a Hohner pokerwork in D/G, which you pretty much have to, because of how the accidentals work.
Melodeon.net’s theme of the month for June 2017 is ‘animals’. Didn’t say it had to be either non-extinct or non-fictional animals!
Comments closedThis tune was written by Lynn Tocker, a fine piano accordion player from Northumberland. A search of youtube should find her version… which is better than this one 🙂 Played as part of melodeon.net’s theme of the month for January 2017. “Nautical tunes” on a A/D Castagnari Lilly

The tune is the Leitrim Thrush, learned off the Old Hat Dance Band album – an Irish tune, but not very Irish by the time it got to me! Played for Melodeon.net’s theme of the month.
