The people have spoken - nice choice :-)
From Night to Morn - from Will Allen's rapidly increasing video channel of happy melodeon music! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1r6oeWz4Bjc
You can find some ABC here (and some context for the tune too) https://thesession.org/tunes/12716 where the ABC includes an extra 4 bars in the B music that Will misses out in his version (the original repeats a phrase in the B music, which makes the tune longer than 32 bars)
Enjoy!

I knew I'd heard that tune somewhere before. Great morris dance
-
Excellent tune - wish I could record my version but computer says 'no'.

I usually play the 32 bar version for morris and song accompaniment, but here with the longer B part. A tune with countless opportunities for fingering and harmonisation. I started down that route but.....seemed to overcomplicate a cracking tune. D/G and 4 stop.
All the best.

Here's a recording of the Derbyshire Volunteers playing this as an opener a few years ago.
The sound is not very good, it's just from side stage and it's next to the brass section so particularly the soprano sax comes over well!
I'm there along with Doug Eunson in the melodeon section. We come in after Pete Bullock on baritone sax stops noodling along with Mick Pete on ukulele.

I'll do a proper solo recording later.

Really a special melody.
I liked it when I heard Mid Winter Revels Derbyshire Volunteers 1.
This is my version: https://youtu.be/lJz5gmnZwmQ

That sounds pretty great. I think it could use some work on the transition between A and B part and the chords in the B part. But other than that, well done! :||:

I have gone for the 12 bar B music version.

Hi all - here's my version, played on a Hohner Pokerwork and .... a Hohner Pokerwork. It's duet time, through the magic of Olive video editor (thanks to whoever it was who posted about this editor last month; it's great)
https://youtu.be/1VPPnh5nGjs
It turns out it's harder to follow my playing and play along than I'd realised!

You're welcome, it gives me a lot of fun creating my own orchestra using iMovie, see for example https://youtu.be/F0c1vAUbNS0

Nice one Clive! Sounds great and clever video too. I'd love to read a quick summary of how you recorded the tracks, synched the sound and created the vid. I keep thinking I should give Olive a go but haven't tried it yet. Maybe this isn't the right thread? Don't want to join the hijack gang.

Cheers Steve! I've written up how I did it in this thread :-)

I first heard the song played by Brass Monkey../ Martin Carthy

Here is my attempt for this month.
I like this tune. At first I was a little sceptical but after playing it for some days I really like it.

My wife discovered that Night Til Morn layers well with Speed the Plough, so here's our very quick and dirty recording:
https://youtu.be/DT3UG_TbIMk
Alas, when we got to the nice layering bit, her flute started to go a bit sharp my melodeon started to go a bit flat, but hopefully you get the idea ;D
Here's my solo recording on concertina:

Thanks for those, Luke. I prefer the quick and dirty, and novel, version, but the concertina one was also very enjoyable.
-
My contribution.
No frills, I'm afraid

Luke and Greg, all of those recordings were very nice. Thanks for sharing.

I've been enjoying this tune all month and it's refreshed my interest the Brass Monkeys too which is not a bad thing. I was hoping to have got better at it by now but.. here it is anyway.

Thaanks Fred.
It's coming along nicely Gren. Did you try playing up and down the row as well as cross rowing?
-
I gave up on this one because after the first couple of bars I inevitably found m :|blyself playing La Bastringue... :|bl
-
Thanks folks; on we go to next somewhat less frenetic tune! As ever, don't be shy to still stick any late postings here :-)

Thank you Greg.
That’s a good question.... I generally prefer to play along the row to get a bit of bounce - everything turns to mush when play across rows. That B on the D row is the one I keep going for and for those 2 particular notes I like the transition - it’s a bit like a hammer-one/pull off on a guitar.The other time I go for the D row is over the Em chord.
Btw I just listened to the YouTube again and it sounds terrible.. apologies. I think my sound was a too hot so the YT encoding killed it. I should know better.

;D I asked because the same thing happened to me. With this tune, at least.

Here's my contribution for July:
https://soundcloud.com/laubblaeser/from-night-til-morn-take-1
Played in G on my Loffet Graet e Breizh D/G
Today I realise that I should consider setting up some kind of metronome for my recordings. What do you think? Is it just my form on the day or is my meter off more often in my recordings? Would love to hear. Thanks.

Fashionably late, my stab at From Night 'Till Morn.
My clever and lovely wife looks after historic machinery for a living, (a messy job, but someone has to do it!). One of her charges is a stationary mill engine, and when we were filling the boiler using the donkey pump, it struck me that it keeps better time than I do, so I used it as a kind of historic steam-powered metronome.

That was nice, Dave! Thank you.

Thanks Dave. Foot tapping along. Love your rhythm section.

Very good idea, and well played!

Bargees used to dance to the rhythm of the barge engine. Bill Gibbons is the one that is well known because the Instep research group collected a number of steps from him. A search for "Bill Gibbons Clog Dancer" will find information about him.

Hi JD, That is fascinating, I will look up Bill Gibbons. Some years ago I had a sailing boat which had a 1950s SABB single cylinder diesel engine which would tick over all day at less than 1 RPM. I often sat humming tunes to its beat!
-
"tick over all day at less than 1 RPM."
Are you sure??? That's astonishing if correct.
-
Oops! Of course I meant 1 revolution per second. Thanks for pointing it out.
Dave
-
Thanks Dave very innovative and enjoyable!
I seem to remember an EFDSS article from the 1980's about Bargees dancing as they went along. Think it might have been the same chap. He played Anglo as he went along whilst stepping which kept up circulation on winter days!
