The Beverley Processional by Jon Swayne. Performed by John Goodacre.

Jon Swayne's Beverley Processional opened the bagpipe concert in Beverley Minster during the 1992 Beverley Folk Festival, played by his bagpipe trio Moebius. My brother John Goodacre has arranged it for his 120 year old 20-note organette. This performance of it at the front door of our original home The White House was John's contribution to the 2021 Bagpipe Society Blowout in honour of Jon, who is the Society's President. It includes a brief cameo appearance by Prudence the Irish terrier. Video by John-Frances Goodacre.

Wonderful.

Just so Goodacre-ish. I am in awe

[@FEStanley]

Great contrast between the tempo of the tune and the hand cranking!

[@MrHornpipe]

Wow! Did John cut that by hand or has he made some fiendish machine ?

[@chrismills2012]

what is the instrument called? I'm a blind person so I can't see what he's playing

Hi Chris, The Seraphone is a 20 note automatic free reed organette. The music is programmed by a perforated sheet of paper, which my brother arranges and cuts by hand.
