Andy May's ace tune "Lockdown".  Attempted here by Ian Stephenson on Northumbrian Pipes!

Lockdown

Ain't Bin' Nowhere

Cairdin B/C sound sample

A recording of me playing a Roland FR-18 diatonic melodeon.
It was recorded of my phone straight in front of an amp that the roland was plugged into.  Sorry the bass-end is a bit loud, I had been fiddling about with the bass/treble balance control.
