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 closedHere’s a quick demo recording Mark and I did a week or so back of a possible new tune set; Far Away (by Pete Jung) and Two Rivers (by Larry Unger). I did a solo version of Larry’s tune some time ago, but the version with Mark is much better 🙂
Learned as Melodeon.net’s tune of the month for September 2016 and played on a Castagnari Giasco I in Bm (Far Away) and D (Two Rivers).

An unusual pairing of tunes for Melodeon.net’s strange tune pairs theme of the month. The first is the tune known as Abbots Bromley Horn Dance tune, though it isn’t actually used as such by the Abbots Bromley Horn Dancers – they use any tune *but* that one! Other dance sides doing the horn dance use it a lot. The second comes from the English Acoustic Collective and their Morris Offspring collaboration; a tune played with John Dipper’s Dapple and Dobbin (recorded earlier on this channel!) – it’s by Robert Harbron, and called ‘Kindling’. Great tune Rob!
Played on a Castagnari Giasco I in D/G.
Comments closedA mazurka’d implementation of this traditional English waltz, commonly played as a bourree in the style of Tim Van Eyken’s version. I think it makes a nicer mazurka 🙂
