Beautiful......do you think I could learn to play this on a C/G Anglo Concertina? What key is it played in?
Thank you............. Yvonne

@ysfried1 Thank you - I'm playing it in D, but one of the source manuscripts has it in C, so you could play it in C on your Anglo concertina and actually be even more faithful to the tradition. As for playing it on an Anglo concertina, look for a YouTube video Spiers and Boden playing the same tune - John Spiers is playing Anglo concertina.

@brakn it appears in the Joshua Gibbons manuscript of tunes collected in Lincolnshire in the years 1823-1826.I doubt if an author is named but I can't check right now.
