So true about all the different styles and traditions.

From my perspective, the list of "favourites", or maybe influences or summat, would be entirely different with a very different type of accordion.

I just realised today is not the day I thought it was, and I’d missed #TuneswapTuesday yesterday - “oops”.
Here’s The Windfall Polka and Haggling the Toss from one of my favourite John Kirkpatrick albums, “One Man and his Box”

#Folkies of Mastodon, any recommendations for what/who to listen to while working this week?
Fan of all sorts of folk, so long as it isn’t too “singer songwriter” :-)
Otherwise I’ll probably be listening to #TheTeacups #Bellowhead #Blowzabella #Naragonia #KathrynTickell #TheAskewSisters #StephaneDelicq #Blackbeard’sTeasparty #AndyMay #Cassard #HomeService #JohnKirkpatrick
And other #folkmusic
