I see you've got the one about the incontinent Greek ( 8th down)
There's a Radio 4 programme called Crossing Continents, and I can't hear the phrase correctly - always sounds like Cross Incontinence to me.

No, it's for us older folks, who are furious about certain problems that we have. "Cross Incontinents" is more correct and will no doubt be evidenced in the Elsinore and Middle Earth next week (just to bring things back on track) . >:E  :|glug

My other melodeon's a fiddle, but one of my Hohners has six strings! I also play a very red Hawkins Bazaar in C and a generic Klingenthaler spoon bass in F.!! My other pets (played) are gobirons - Hohner Marine Band in C, Hohner Tremolo in D and a Chinese Thingy Tremolo in G.

totally irrelevant but it reminds of   an incident many years ago where a sign on the Dover road from London stating 'Dover for the Continent'' to which somebody had added  ''  Folkstone for the Incontinent''!

Here's a short list of tunes that we could play ....
.....Keel Roe in G.....

Is this something that we can get from the chip shop?

Just back from Whitby. Thought Melnet meet went really well, nice balance of chat and tunes. Met an old friend who I did not know was a member (what name do you post under Trevor?) Thanks to Pikey for sorting it out.

I would echo that. It seemed people made more of an effort to chat and introduce themselves, which is not easy for everyone but helps enormously. It encouraged me to talk to people more at other sessions. Thanks to all players at the sessions I went to for loads of great tunes and playing. Especially Westmorland which I am def putting on my long list of tunes to learn!

Hi Mike,
If that is The Westmorland Waltz, which I played at my session at Middle Earth, it's on The Boat Band CD "Trip to the Lakes" and the dots are in "Hardcore English" published by EFDSS.
It was originally a jig (in the Walsh manuscript 1718) and The Boat Band turned it into a waltz.
