Re: "The Castle Ceili Band" - 3 reels
Brilliant links, thanks for sharing. It's really motivating me to practise playing faster. My old teacher always said to practise tunes (at home not in the pub!!) as fast as you can, then when you bring them back down to a proper speed they'll seem easy.

Re: simultaneous air & reel
I imagine it would be quite hard to find two tunes that work as well as this, but I might keep it in the back of my mind.

Re: B/C Advice for a noob
Your mate must have had a great sense of humour to leave a piper a B/C box! Must remember to buy a cheap banjo and change my will to say that my box playing pal has to learn it!!

Re: MY HARMONICA JOURNEY
Really good advice, thanks guys. I'm one of those people that bought a cheap (ish) one a few years back and then failed to persevere with it. I wish I had, it's a lot lighter to carry around than an accordion!!

Re: Looking to learn concertina: suggestions?
So would I be right in saying that if one wanted to learn Anglo, a 30 key C / G would be the best option to go for, longer term? I don't get why a D / G is so limited, because surely it has that C natural and C#, the only note extra you'd get with a C / G would surely be the F natural, and I can't t...

Re: Forgetting the Anglo Concertina is not good!
I just this week learned a very severe lesson. If you have acquired basic skill on the Anglo Tina then it really has to be kept going! If you stop for some years, as I did, then most of that know-how is gone! Now relearning, with different fingerings, tunes I thought I had down! And to make it even...

Re: Determining age/copyright status of tunes?
We were playing in a session a week or two ago and the venue had someone from the PRS visit. She listened for a while and then asked us to list as many of tunes we'd been playing as possible so she could check out the copyright status of them. Not quite sure what she thought of all the weird and won...

Jamie Smith's Mabon.... The is the very box I have my eye on!! Solid Mahogany...
It is a lovely box though, it's true. If only buying one would enable me to play like Jamie.
