Internet Video Jukebox 20 with Paul Walker

The National Youth Folk Ensemble and Leveret at 1hour:03 (for 30 secs nothing happens). Thanks to Lois H. for digging out the link. Rob Harbron excels on English concertina.

Steve Taggart ( the Sam Spade of Concertina Research) has sent the following gems:

“I’m pretty sure it’s just the one guy, and l think he might be Russian?

lt’s the old film-maker’s “split-screen” trick again, the backdrop is the real give-away. The tune is a tango, from the film “The Scent of a Woman”, Пор Уна Кабеза. Из разряда: “Тихо сам с собою…”, а шо делать? Cheers, and l hope it amused you, however slightly.

Concertina from Hell! Musik Böhmer Kurzversion-concertina & stompbox!

You may have already seen this, and still be recovering!

Lovely stuff: Minuet in F Major (Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach), played on Wicky/Hayden duet concertina (by a modest Frenchman)

Paul, l think that any witty comment, on my part anyway, is totally superfluous here. “David’s Lamentation” (Cooper #239) on Hayden duet concertina in location in Kabul (by Jabberwockistan?):-

Popeye the Sailor Man by Rich– The sole audience member seems to be pretty unimpressed, or perhaps he knows all the rude words, but just can’t quite remember them:-“

“Blue Skies” was written by Irving Berlin in 1926 and is performed here by Alan Day on Anglo concertina and Will Fly on acoustic guitar.

Bob Michel -Pierre De Geyter composed the melody in 1888 as a setting for the lyrics written by Eugène Pottier. I play it solo on a 40-button Anglo concertina of roughly the same vintage as the song.

Tim Collins– Three reels: Patsy Tuohey’s/Bárr na Cúille/Tie the Bonnet. Sublime playing from 2008.

Here is the Mooiplaas Boere-Orkes’ version of a tune called the Oasis Tango. It appears on their very recent album (2008) called Tradisionele Boeremusiek op sy Beste (Traditional Boeremusiek at its Best). Boeremusiek (Afrikaans for ‘Boer music’) is a type of South African instrumental folk music with a concertina as lead instrument. Its original intent was to be an accompaniment to social dancing. Although its roots date back to Europe, over time it had developed a character of its own.
