Cadrill Kozaken

Hello!
I love to find tunes from my home county of Småland and this one is awesome! This is Cadrill Kozaken and it's from Carl-Gustaf Tullbergs manuscript (Högahult, Nöbbele), dated 1822.

Since doing the filming I took this tune to Halsway a couple of weeks ago and we decided that the best way to play it was to start slowly and then speed up until you're going like the clappers! I love this tune!
Enjoy!
:D

I love this tune, it rocks! We played this one at Halsway in 2018 and I learnt it in turn from the awesome Olle Gällmo.
Enjoy!

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!
