A couple of gorgeous waltzes I recorded with my friend Robbie Sherratt on fiddle. Robin's Waltz was written by bagpipe maker John Swayne whilst Sailing To Skye was written by John Wheylan.

Robin's Waltz/ Sailing To Skye

A quick rough take I made of the 3/2 hornpipe, Cobbler's, on a lee Oskar A natural minor harmonica. It has a bit of the hornpipe If you will not have me let me go thrown on the end. I found both of these tunes in the John Green Of The Cheshire Way Collection.

Cobbler's Hornpipe

Here is a beautiful french waltz, La Cocinelle, or The Ladybird. It's a really interesting tune and seems to flow between 3/4 and jig time. I recorded this with my friend and astounding melodeon player Owen Woods.
