george garside:
Have just listened to a CD I have had for many years, by Moorr Music ( Mark Bazeley and Jason Rice  ) published by Veteran in 2000.   Exellent and very danceable  Dartmoor  ''english' ceilidh stuff.  All worth a listen but the track I particularly like is the unusual combination of  the ploughboy and the barren rocks of aiden. Don'tt know if its still availabe

One of my all time favorite CDs! I can't understand why so few people play this material. If I start one of these sets at Whitby or Sheffield Sessions Festival I just get blank looks and a silent room!

Agree the music is great - especially for dancing - but I think the problem with them at large sessions like Whitby is that the direct style doesn't lend themselves to accompaniment by lots of other melodeons  ( which usually dominate Whitby sessions)   and other styles are easier to accompany with harmonies and other interesting accompaniments. - so the silent room is probably an appreciation of your playing and perhaps a surprising case of sensitive musicians not wanting to ruin a great tune .
( Perhaps everyone os now busy practising them for next year )
