Yes, I've been watching them over the past week, they have nice collection of very good accordion. What are the double row boxes that they are playing?

Both quite nice videos! The difference that most immediately strikes me is that the folks in the first one look rather like I do when I play, while the second pair actually looks like they're having a good time!

That is one of the reasons I can always rely on that particular clip to cheer me up.

I have to smile, cos loads of British players are busting themselves to learn French tunes - and this great Frenchman is really into Irish reels, jigs, polkas etc....and don't he play them well on a one row !!.. (:)

Lovely stuff

I'll take your word for it  (:)
The french bloke seems like a very good one-row player with a nice feel for the irish tunes.

Easy to get distracted, but Renée does appear to have an unusual strap arragement (on her melodeon).
