Poll: Tune of the Month for June 2021
« on: May 27, 2021, 09:15:59 AM »

Hello again everyone; here we go!

- Redowa Polka - Runner up last month (again), a 3 part polka, this comes from McGrooger's wonderful playing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Z75ibQZ528 - first tune.

- Machynlleth - as suggested in the suggestions thread, a tune that was a favourite of Steve Dumpleton; here played by Ray Langton - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FIRyv8X8V4 . I'm particularly grateful that he says the tune's name in the video, because I would never have guessed how to say it.

- Iron Legs - I haven't raided Will's youtube channel for a while, so here's Will Allen playing Iron Legs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKe5R-GAgYo - it's about time I learned this tune to be honest.

- Sunshine - Well, didn't have to look far for this month's tunes. A bit further down Will's play list, is this Gregory Jolivet tune https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unipIatw_TM

Thanks all - happy voting!

Looks like a Hohner Club II or similar - first half of the twentieth century I think? He has the grille off, which makes it look distinctive.

Hohner box but with Italian reeds, I believe. Marvelous player.
