I'm obsessed with the first two bars of the third part of Banish Misfortune. I'm also quite taken with that C# in the final bar.

First listen. What an incredible album. Recorded live with a group of Clare dancers in Dan Connell's pub, Knocknagree, on the Cork-Kerry border in 1985.

@dys_morphia ooh, I love the hex blanket! Reminds me of #concertina fretwork.

The incredible Cormac O Beaglaioch.

De-stressing from an interview earlier today by throwing myself into making improvements to anglopiano.com. Some pretty big enhancements are coming soon.

If you're one of my 50 or so daily users, I'd love to chat. Don't be shy!

Really pleased to be working out Banish Misfortune and steadily improving!

New video of Cormac O Beaglaoich playing Slán le Maigh on bass #concertina in a canoe on a choppy Swiss lake.

Figuring out how to play Bean Pháidín on anglo #concertina and this tune is definitely as fun to play as it sounds.

If you were ever wondering what's inside Cormac Begley's custom #Dipper Bass concertina, order his CD, "B", from Bandcamp. Vinyl also available and shipping this month!

One of yesterday’s goings on was the left hand strap screw pulling out and the right one coming loose on my concertina, just as the seven day trial period was running out. The seller gave me some advice though and under a minute with a matchstick and knife seems to have remedied it this morning. The spills I packed the holes with were even thinner/smaller than the ones in the photo. Propelling pencil for scale (based on the lead!).

Today I learned that I like the concertina, a free-reed musical instrument. Today I also learned that I like when Irish musician Cormac Begley plays it. In fact, it wasn’t until today that I even knew either existed.

Not suggesting anyone buy this, but it's such an interesting specimen I thought some of the free reed instrument enthusiasts around here might be interested to see this round Lachenal #Edeophone that Barelycorn has up for sale right now.

So, having borrowed a modern A.C. Norman #AngloConcertina for a month or so at the start of the year this week I have bought my own. It’s not perfect, but it is not at all bad and was nicely priced. It is a #Lachenal and dates to around 1900, but we can’t be too precise as it is a “marriage” box which is apparently what #concertina people call a cut-and-shut assembled from several donors to make one working box.
As if I don’t already play too many instruments (badly)…

I’ve listened to quite a bit of William Kimber in the last few days - here’s a nice tune for a dance I don’t particularly like, Constant Billy

Went in to the radio station to do an interview about the proposed mine upstream and left with a box of celtic and english traditional music albums! Tons of #accordion and english #concertina, even some Cape Breton fiddle! And a bunch of Christy Moore/Planxty/Moving Hearts. What a haul!

Can you beat a bit of Cohen Braithwaite-Kilcoyne on a #TuneswapTuesday morning? I doubt it.
This is my favourite of his songs (today anyway), From Marble Arch to Leicester Square
