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!

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 :-)

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.

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?

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.

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.
