An Index of Clive Williams' Melodeon Videos from YouTube
Mark and I played this in the garden for the Vaults Bar lockdown session (we’re still in Covid lockdown for those viewing this in 10 years time) – this is the first time we’ve been able to play together for 4-5 months. Despite being April, it snowed – you’ll see the snow at the end of the video… so this is all we got to play.
Silta was written by finnish accordion player, Markku Lepisto.
Comments closedThis 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.
Comments closedLovely 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.
Comments closedThis 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
Comments closedHere are a couple of Shaker hymn tunes from the US, both traditional. We recorded this on our 2nd CD, Tree of Life – see www.vivantmusic.co.uk
This video was recorded during the covid-19 epidemic 2020.
Comments closedAnother 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.
Comments closedThis video was recorded at our concert in St Mary and St Giles Church, Stony Stratford in June 2019. The tune is the Liverpool Hornpipe; a traditional tune that we play a bit slower than most. Mark Prescott on violin; Clive Williams on melodeon.
Comments closedMark and I are playing a concert in SMSG church, Stony Stratford, Milton Keynes MK11 1BD; 7.30pm on 9th June 2019. Here we are playing through one of our new pieces, the Siege of Guingamp.
Comments closedA slowed down version of the Dorset 4 Hand Reel played on melodeon and violin by myself and my friend Mark Prescott. A spur of the moment recording to see what we could do with it, and for uploading as my contribution to melodeon.net’s tune of the month for April 2019.
I’m playing a Castagnari Mory in D/G; Mark’s playing… um, a violin!
Mark and I play as a duo, Vivant – our website is here: www.vivantmusic.co.uk
Comments closedVivant are Mark Prescott (violin) and Clive Williams (melodeon). This video is taken from our live concert at Stony Stratford St Mary and St Giles church in June 2013 – the sound is recorded live acoustically to minidisc from a microphone in the audience (no PA system) and has had no audio effects added to it – what you hear is how it sounded to our audience!
This piece, Vivre, was composed by Stephane Delicq.
