Burwell Bash 2014 Tutors' Concert, Andy Cutting

[@Novascorian]

I've just found this. Thanks so much for posting it. Andy is a wonderful musician. Cheers and all the best.

Beautiful playing. /that must have been quite a gig!

[@lynneceegee8726]

It was… we regular Burwell Bashers are a privileged crowd - worth going to for the Tutors' Concert alone, I'd say!

[@woodleybob]

Lovely playing here (especially the harmony, which is scrumptious)

[@mitchgord]

In Continental Mood and Flatworld...a really nice version of both, especially the long slow intro into the first tunes. I love his chording, as always.

[@tonedumbharry]

Sounds like "old light" and "flat world". Don't suppose Andy said if the dots to "old world" where to be found anywhere?

[@woodleybob]

+greg bradfield-smith Dots for In Continental Mood and Flatworld are in the Blowzabella tune book "New Tunes for Dancing" and probably elsewhere too (try thesession.org?). Old Light wasn't played here but is on his album (which is lovely if you don't have it)

[@tonedumbharry]

+woodleybob Thank you for being kind enough to post this. I now have dots for flat world and continental mood and damned tricky to play well, they are. I would still love to find a score for Old Light (I have tried and failed to work it out on my own, more than once)!

[@woodleybob]

Agree that Flatworld in particular is awkward (chords especially) but worth persisting with.

[@tonedumbharry]

+woodleybob Melodeon.net tune of the month for December! And you are absolutely right about the chords. The basic tune is nearly there, but not close enough to post and it's nearly 2016. Another one missed :-( 100% respect for Mr Cutting (who first got me seriously interested in the instrument when I saw him play as support for Kate Rusby about 10 years ago. He made it look so easy).

I know it's almost sacrilegious to say it, but I much prefer this lovely slow version of Old Molly Oxford - it's hymn-like and very atmospheric - to the faster, bumpier Morris version. It's certainly the way I'd like to play it. Right, I'll be getting drummed out now! (Or perhaps summoned by bells?) ;)
