Pity these are all from the Sunday, Kautilya, as they miss that wonderful underpinning brass sound which wasn't there that day  ;)

There was also some great sessioning that went on in 2 pubs in the town, across the weekend - as opposed to the 'massed' sessioning in the long room at the Rugby Club, as here - where it was easier to get a 'tighter' sound, with fewer people present and a logistically more conducive environment.

Alas, only got there at 1pm Sunday so I am hoping others out there have some of what  you so tantalisingly describe for us to hear! ;) ;)

I don't know about 'Freereeder Meister', but it was a good session.
What is the name of the tune which starts at 6' 14" in, and goes to the end of the recording, the one with the cracking 'B'-music with its powerful rising sequence? Anyone know, please?

I agree with Diane about the smaller pub sessions being generally (and inevitably) tighter. We had a good one in the back room of the Queens Head later on Saturday afternoon, before tea.

Thanks, Anahata!
I believe you or someone else told me that at the time, but I'm afraid the information never got stored in my brain cell.  ;)

Percy Brown's Waltz (aka Veleta Waltz). A proper East Anglian toon. A final request by Tom Knight and his granddad Reg Reader on dulcimers, before they had to go home.
All done in C - a fine key.
At, and near the beginning, you can hear Mary Humphries and Anahata playing, and me on my Wesson Clipper.

A few melnetters on there, and look out right at the end for a fleeting shot of wonderful dulcimer player Sue Harris and sister Jeannie on Hohner one-row 4-stop.

I'm having trouble with Kautilya's YouTube Video snippets. I get the titles, and the shot of the roundabout on one of them, but then just a black picture. Same at different resolutions, same on Windows and Linux, same on Firefox and Chrome.

...or are they actually only sound recordings?

Yup - the only way I know to get a sound file on youtube via moviemaker (WMM) is to trick WMM it into thinking it is a picture - you put up a title page or a piccie in the videoline and you then attach the noise in the sound line and save it all as a movie (WMV) file,   hence the subsequent deep blackness of the Drinkwater rippling pond....deliberate powercut....

It's actually a PINTA but best I can do.  The video snippets' offering shows some really sophisticated piccie and title page changing throughout.

But cutting up and then downloading and transforming MSV to MP3 to WMVand etc etc etc is already enough effort!
There is a Yoga option I think which keeps the still piccy or title page in view all the time and squatting placidly in front of you, so I will look out for it with the next one... special service  for Anahata :||: :||:

It's in Nick Barber's book, Steve - a popular Radway tune. I quite like it after Brown's Hornpipe ie D into G.

I don't have Nick Barber's book (gasp!). But I transcribed the tune as played at the session on Kautilya's recording - see ABC code and PDF file below.

However, I also found it (in the key of A) on the Fiddler's Companion website, attributed to James S Kerr's Merrie Melodies for Violin collection, published in Glasgow in the 1880's. Fiddler's Companion AI-ALI (scroll down to find it).
It would thus appear to be a Scottish tune, although it doesn't 'sound' Scottish. Maybe it was an English tune which had become popular in Glasgow and hence picked up in Kerr's collection. Perhaps there is further source information given in Kerr's original manuscript. What does it say in Nick Barber's book?
