The Twelve Accordion Days of Christmas. Day 9

You can't see Loreena McKennitt playing accordion on this track, but if you listen carefully you can hear her. Too beautiful not to include.

The Twelve Accordion Days of Christmas. Day 8, Part 2

A gentle antidote to today's earlier track -  here's Rebecca Parker of Leyland Accordion Club

The Twelve Accordion Days of Christmas. Day 8, Part 1

Back to accordions today, with another two-parter and a couple of tracks which could barely be more contrasting. First off, the least festive rendition of Jingle Bells you're likely to encounter this Christmas!

The Twelve Accordion Days of Christmas. Day 7, Part 2

Second Melodeon track - something of a contrast to the first!

(NB the title is wrong, it's actually "Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming").

The melodeon player is Julian Sutton. And watch out for Kathryn Tickell on Northumbrian pipes.

Enjoy.

The Twelve Accordion Days of Christmas. Day 6

This was just too good not to include, so we've changed our own rules and made Day 6 "Bandoneon Day".
