Black Rock

A great hurdy gurdy tune written by Cliff Stapleton, and here adapted to melodeon (a Hohner Preciosa in Bb/Eb to be precise). It’s mostly played on the outside row and is played here in some sort of C musical scale, but it’s kind of hard to tell which! Another melodeon.net theme of the month tune; tunes from England

Schottische a Bethanie

Played on a C/F Hohner Club 1 (declubbed) melodeon by Clive Williams, part of www.melodeon.net’s Tune of the Month March 2010.

Hmmm. I never knew that’s what this tune was called! I think I first heard it, a *long* time ago, played by Jim and Annie Whitehill from Longnor, Derbyshire?

When played as a jig, this tune is also known as ‘The Plane Tree’.
