@filbertthedilbert This is me posting from my new account, where there are other videos of my box playing. Glad you're finding them useful. :)

Speed the Plough is part of Cambridgeshire Plough Monday tradition too.

Ignore anything except constructive criticism, keep playing and practising.

Brendan Behan ( an Irish Playwright/author/song-writer ) was asked by a reporter " are you worried what the critics may say about your new play ?"

"NO" said Behan, " Critics are like Eunuchs in a Harem...they see it done every night of the week..but can't do it themselves !"

Play away and enjoy the music, and to heck with the begrudgers.

Thats Rubbish I Can Play Better Than That and i am Only 11 and i have the same malodain as u !

@annmarie66coll Thank you :S A little harsh, as I had only been playing about 6 months then. I have improved some what since.

Linolshire is a tricky tune. You did a good job!

[Jongleurs1]

the princess royal is Bampton and Speed the Plough it just generallyh Somerset

[olimandolin]

Not strictly true. The Bampton version of Princess Royal is the minor version, although granted many people use the major version instead of the traditional version. Also, Speed the Plough is now the tune commonly used for the Bampton side step, but I didn't know it came from Somerset. You learn something new everyday!
