Composing the Shoreditch Polka - what inspired me.

The beginning kind of reminds me of sukiyaki. Keep it up, I love your channel

I had a cookery book called "Blue Peter's Gorgeous Grub" when I was a little girl

I went into the settings and slowed this down 0.25 and it sounds very Celtic, I like it very muck thank you for sharing Mr Peakfiddler.

Nice! 👍

That's a great tune, love Shoreditch Polka! I'm always mystified by the apparent ease with with you come up with new songs, Peakfiddler. I wouldn't even know where to start, but keep up the good work! :)

Marcia, I'm hoping to record this with the banjo and other instruments, so hopefully at the same time I'll figure out the notation, best wishes as always.

NICE tune, Sir and very interesting story! Thank you!!

[@peakfiddler]

Glad you enjoyed it

Seems similar in structure to Frankie Rodgers' original version of the Ookpik Waltz but quicker.

Composing with a whistle! Awesome!!!!

The tune you made up in the beginning, I'm sure I've heard it before. The name of it, is on the tip of my tongue, (no pun intended). I think it must be in an English fiddle tune book I have, tho it's not in my home now, or I'd check it. Maybe you've seen the book, it's white and blue, with round plastic rings, for the binder. The book starts with easy tunes, like this one your playing. I remember it, because I played it often, in the 1990s, but not since then. When I find my book, I'll look for the tune, and write back. I guess then, I'll edit this post.

Happy New Year Peak Fiddler!!!

[@peakfiddler]

Same to you!

[@kaystewart6009]

Do you have a the whitles in all the notes

[@peakfiddler]

Hi Kay, I have Bb, C & D as well as a couple of low pipes (whistles) one in D and one in C. They are useful to be able to accompany the fiddle.
