Skomakarpolskan

Hello!
Time for another polska, this is Skomakarpolskan, not to be confused with Skomakaren. It's a great little polska to help with this particular type of rhythm. I first learnt this on the nyckelharpa and it's just as great on that too!

Långdans från Sollerön

Hello!
A tune that most of us säckpipa players play, so a good tune to put in your repertoire. I learnt this from the wonderful Olle Gällmo.

Polska efter Sven Donat

Hello!
A tune from a collection in Småland, this is Polska after Sven Donat. Because my family are from Jönköping in Småland, there are going to be quite a few tunes from there coming up in the future!
Enjoy!

Brudmarsch efter Nedergårds Lars

Hello!
A tune I taught at the säckpipas at Halsway Manor 2018. I learnt this from the most amazing player, Olle Gällmo. Without Olle it's likely that no-one would be playing! This is a tune that we all play when we start playing.

Hamburska efter Pehr Ericsson

Hello!
I love this tune, it's so jolly. I learnt it in Sweden at a meeting of säckpipa players called Pösuträff and taught it at Halsway Manor in 2018.
Enjoy!

Enjoy!

Långdans

Hello!
It's time for some new tunes to be uploaded! Having run a säckpipa weekend at Halsway Manor last year I filmed a bunch of tunes and then I forgot to share them here. So I shall gradually put them all up here! First we have a very simple långdans!
Enjoy

Battle of the Somme

Hello,
I filmed this last year for the centenary of the end of the Battle of the Somme, but didn't share it up on  blogger. So I'm sharing it now for the centenary of the end of World War 1. The dots are below for anyone wanting to play it on Sunday!
