I play for Bideford Phoenix here and occasionaly for some teams in Wales (Full Moon, Cardiff Ladies etc) so that's mainly cotswold. Are you doing Swanage?
You could be a one man band! Get you some cymbals and strap to the inside of your knees and have a go. See how you do! I bet you would become famous if you played 3 things at one time. That would be cooler than banging that thing on the floor.
ive recorded a version of this tune with my friend. go to doubleyoudoubleyoudontmyspacedotcomfowardslashlawrencenorthallandotisluxton to listen! from north belgium tho!
It's in fact a traditional from Flanders (North of Belgium) entitled : "Berendans" hence the translation into Bear Dance. Check out the vid of Vincent Sels.
Well done ! ! amazing I love it!

I can play this tune, i'm 15, but yours seems a lot more complex. I love this tune.

That's great, its a good tune to mess about with and don't be afraid to improvise to make it your own!
reedboxman 4 years ago
Lovely tune! And doing three things at once takes the cake! I'm lucky to be able to coordinate my treble and bass hands.

That sounds too co-ordinated, anyway the harmonium is a crucial element of the sound!!!

It's in fact a traditional from Flanders (North of Belgium) entitled : "Berendans" hence the translation into Bear Dance. Check out the vid of Vincent Sels.

Type in 'Berendans' and you will surely get Vincent (his username = vincentsels). Good luck!
