Here's a rough-and-ready version on one-row, with a couple of other instruments overdubbed just for mischief:

I did not like Haste to the wedding very much. Now I must admit: what a nice tune! (and nice story, indeed)

Oh, dear...I had plans for this morning, but it looks as if I'd better spend a few hours ogling my trophy before it's cruelly snatched away...

Technically a performance might be dodgy but something about it works

That happens a lot in folk music and is part of its appeal for me.

Quote
which I guess is pretty much what you are saying.
I wasn't particularly thinking of the case of a technically flawed performance, but it could be that as well (yes, my video has lots of fluffed notes in it!). The point is that there has to be something else beyond just playing it right, and a favourable comment on the music (vs. your playing) is ironically a greater compliment.

One way of getting the "something else", reworking Percy Buck's quote from the point of view of the player's approach, is mentally to replace "Look at me! Aren't I clever!" with "I want to convince you what a good tune/piece of music this is".

Thanks for that. What a useful piece of advice.

A odd entry from me this month, in that I'm not playing the tune, and I'm not playing it on a melodeon...

However, this is the tune used for the Adderbury dance Haste to the Wedding, played on my new squeeze (a 1925 64 key Maccann duet concertina). There are a few mistakes here and there, but I hope you'll permit me showing this new toy off a bit!

I'll hopefully get round to doing a melodeon version of the correct tune before the month is out.

Doh, beaten to it! I was going to cheat this month and post that one too ;D

Here's mine, learnt entirely for the purposes of this ToTM so uses the ABC provided and played simply.

This also marks the first step in my hasty and rash 'boxolution' to learn a morris tune a week during 2015. One down, fifty-one to go then  :o

Haste to the Wedding

No "airs and graces" you say under the video, but there's a lovely bouncy rhythm and lots of dance in that - all you need, really!

Wow! How time flies....

It's been 7 years since my last post here, and in the intervening years I've hardly touched a squeezebox - same old story, too many competing demands, not enough time.

I've converted a small box room into a study, which means I can now get the melodeons out of storage, and ready for action. Looking on the t'internet I found a huge number of new & inspirational videos, many submitted as "Tune of the Month". I've never tried recording myself, let alone play in public, but after a few hours practice (my how the melodeon muscles decay when not used for many years!) I've just about got a rendition of this month's ToTM - I'm not happy with it, but I guess it's a reference point for the way my playing is at "day zero"...

A rather hasty take of Haste to the Wedding on a clackety pokerwork with a sprinkle of 9 string cittern.

Nice work! Very gentle. Liked the mix of the two instruments, which gave it a fuller interpretation than I had previously had of this tune. Wasn't a favourite, shall we say.... I will now try it at some point.

OK, I've figured out how to connect a Streb to an iPad to drive the software midi synth in there. This opens all manner of possibilities (the electric guitar version rocks somewhat), but here I've gone for the, literally, string quartet sound. The treble's doing the violin section, the chords are the violas, and the bass is, well, the cello/double bass. It's all done in one play, no overdubs/multitracking.

I'm available for weddings of course, and rather cheaper than that real string quartet that you heard in Covent Garden that you were going to book!  :D

Cheers,

Clive

A new career in the Khardoma Tea Rooms beckons!

Would you be available for a re-make of "The Ladykillers"?  ::)

Nice Pariselle box you've got there Alan, are you sure it shouldn't have had green buttons?
 Lovely playing as usual. (:)
