Tony Hall Morris Dance

[trekharmonicahenmar]

I have seen Tony Hall severall times in Holland. It is amazing what he can do on the melodeon.

And I love the way he explains every tune when he is on stage. He makes you laugh!

Some video's with Tony playing in Holland you can find at: trekzakpagina.nl Search for: 'Films', then 'Eigen materiaal' and then scroll downwards.

Have fun!

Great, the Tony Hall I knew when I lived in Norfolk. Wonderful chap, wonderful box player. One of his songs was bout the sea, where the tide goes out, then it comes back in, and out again - very funny and clever. Another was where he sung the restaurant menu - a genius.

Has anybody got the score?

[nicodagger]

Is this the trad melody danced to in the Morris Dance? How old is this tune?

[Almo2504]

Lovely, tasteful playing. I first hear Tony on the 'Penguin Eggs' CD and fell in love with his distinctive sounding melodeon.

[DanCeekey]

A very nice performance. Does anybody knows how this tune is called?

[mglamb]

It's a variation on "Princess Royal".

i wish the camera angle had allowed us to see his right-hand fingers at play...

[WeThreePlus1]

Great base and timing

[boxmusic90]

Its probably a Hohner if only they had of spent a few dollors more on there key board like the vw bug but great playing never the less

[MegMerrilies]

great stuff!

[HenryFalkner]

It recorded well enough. It is just that the buttons may need new felts under them to reduce the clattering.

[gmtdiato]

WHAT!!!!!!you've obviously never seen Tony.!!!!

I like the clackety sound of old melodeon and accordeon keyboards!

[kermits79]

[booboojaboo]

[llachow]

[ZoeMaxwell]

Another nice tune.  You can smoke and play at the same time. Most men can't do two things at once...hoho...

[YuukiGunn]

Princess Royal is such an odd tune, it's great.

Horribly noisy buttons on your box though.

Thank you for posting another short but fab video of Tony Hall playing. I'm not very familiar with the site and seem to have accidentally given it one poor star, when I meant to send 4! My apologies for this - please ignore.
