Accordion Runs Up And Down, G, D, C

Enrico WIP

A morris tune that I rather like, so made it the 6th tune I've learnt on the accordion.

Sheriff's Ride, on accordion

There is a Playford dance to this tune. I have danced to it previously, but recently I was at a folk dance festival (IVFDF in Edinburgh) and it hit a chord so I decided to learn it. 7th tune learnt on the accordion

Black Nag

I struggle with instruments, despite always having had a selection around. Usually it's safer just to sing, but the song I have learnt most recently works better with accompaniment, so I decided I would take it on. Usually I can't get more than a few strums, (I can finger pick okay but can't work out what to play where), but managed a bit of twiddly stuff that just seemed to come together (at least by my standards) like it was meant to be, and I am more than happy with the result even though it's not perfect. I performed it last night at the Boat Band night at the Beehive. The unexpected but most welcome accompaniment was provided by the highly skilled Robbie Sherratt!

Carol singing, White Christmas

I sang this at the Full English music session tonight despite being on antibiotics for a wheezy cough - managed to get through it without starting up a coughing fit :) Please excuse the pauses, I've known the song since I was a child but only been learning the words in the last week.
