Roger Digby is an excellent Anglo concertina player. He was part of the
splendid and influential 'Flowers and Frolics' band with Dan Quinn,
and has worked for many years with Bob Davenport. Bring instruments to join
in; again, singers will be welcome too.
Roger would like to introduce four tunes which may not be familiar to
everyone; he's sent mp3 files of him playing all of them and abc
notation for three of them. They are Chelmsford Races, Mrs. O'Dwyer's
Fancy, McCuskers Barndance, and Lucy Farr's Polka No. 1. The abc
notation follows: let me know if you'd like the mp3 files of Roger playing the
tunes let me know.

N:You'll notice a similarity with
Hullichan Jig in the B part though it's not quite the same. The tune is in the
Thomas Hardy collection, though seemingly unknown in its native Chelmsford - a
fact I am trying to remedy.
