Peacock's Feathers, (or Cleite Na Péacóige)

I am playing this on a Lachenal Edeophone English Concertina. This beautiful instrument, dating from the early part of the 20th century was acquired for me by my friend Barry Irwin and was restored by Andrew Norman of Rowton, Shropshire - see http://www.acnorman.co.uk/

I learned the music from the website The Session see: http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/663

The movie was created with a Canon S5 IS camera and was processed using Serif MoviePlus! with a touch of reverb to the audio track

The performer is Tom Cunliffe of Sussex, England. See http://www.youtube.com/user/southcoastsounds

Beautiful, thanks. I've been learning for a year on a Lachenal English 40 key, 1862, putting vids logging progress onto YouTube, (not worth watching, by the way). In a year or two I'll get an instrument as fine as that. Bruce Thomson in New Zealand.

@PalmyBruce - I am indeed fortunate to have come across this  instrument and to have been able to acquire it - alas, I will never do it the justice it deserves. Thanks for visiting

I've always loved the concertina and you always make it look so easy! :-) Very nice playing.
