[@mangelwurzel476]

Still listening. I’d be bereft if you ever took this down!😘

[@DerekTheNutter]

For me its now 15 years!... blimey im old! for young Jimbo he started as a kid and then gave it up! ... came back to it about 6 years ago and we got to play together to develop the style with a lot of influence and help from Saul Rose the Melodeon Legend! Derek

Excelente!

[@gman4818]

I like the first song a lot. plus it has my name.

[@diaton]

good job

[@mistermucky17]

Nice. There's only one thing that sounds better than a well playes Castagnari, and that's two of them. Or maybe a good Salterelle.

[@DanielDeRudder]

These videos are a real joy! Congratulations and thank you both for sharing your talent on this forum. I kinda wonder how long have you both been playing the melodeon? I guess many years in a row according to your performances? By the way, did I mention you look like The Man in Black (be it more in Blue Jeans)?...LOL... Daniel

[@DerekTheNutter]

Thanks for the comment .. Derek

[@enduser63]

Derek wonderful duet Love and best wishes to both of you Thank you

[@GeorgeSOTE1]

Absolutly love the video guys :) was wondering if there is any score or tablature you have for Tom O' Vickers about anywhere?

[@cam_schmidt235]

Yohayyy

[@pamelawilliams3910]

Fantastic playing! I am enjoying learning to play and your music inspires me. I bought a Hohner Pokerwork D/G and it sounds so nice. 'Tom 'O' Vickers' sounds very much like "I'll Go and Enlist for a Sailor" are they the same tune?

[@LesleyHanson222]

This is fab! I want to learn! Where do I start???

[@cam_schmidt235]

Dez nuts

[@theodorerodas8797]

what are the two songs?

[@DerekTheNutter]

The 2 tunes learnt from the playing of Saul Rose, first tune is a variant of “go enlist for a sailor” and the second tune Knifes Edge again from the playing of Saul , the tunes are used in Chiltern 100’s Morris dance called “Shevington Moor” and you can hear us playing it for the dance side in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqrMnJKBnZV-lbs , Saul Rose was one of the initial musicians from the side who we learnt from.

[@enduser63]

Excellent I'm going to have a go at these two tunes wonderful timing you and Jimbo

[@ina6441]

Are they irish tunes.

[@gamblemadman]

English

[@magenta6754]

Not all traditional songs are Irish! England has a rich and particularly beautiful heritage of folk music - check out Steeleye Span, Fairport Convention, Pentagle etc. Who all performed beautiful English folk.

[@Wotsitorlabart]

@@magenta6754 The various Albion Bands are perhaps the only folk band from the 'classic period' to play English songs and tunes. All the ones you mention have Irish songs/tunes in the mix.

[@HelenBlyth-z2i]

Hi, I really want to learn these tunes, are your boxes D/G? It would be easier to learn by playing along, do you play out sometimes? Helen 🪗😎
