Clips

Here are various mp3 clips of my playing. I am often asked if I have CDs for sale. Regrettably, I have only, thus far, recorded miscellaneous tracks.

• L'accordéoniste - A favourite Edith Piaf song.
• Le Plus Beau Tango du Monde - Well known French tango, played on my Roland accordion.
• Sunny Afternoon - A studio recording using synth modules and so on. ‘The taxman's taken all my dough…’
• Dixon (of Dock Green) signature tune - A nostalgic old English favourite. The first half is just my Roland accordion, live. In the second half, I have played guitar chords as well.
• Carte Postale - Part of a lovely French valse as played by Danielle Pauly, specially composed for her excellent album Fleur du Jura.
• L'étoile des Troubadours - Not being a real singer, I normally only sing to lead a singalong. It's not easy to play and sing well simultaneously! But with the luxury of multitracking, I had a go at this traditional French song, doing the vocal and the various accordion parts.
• Godfather Love Theme - From the original Godfather film 1972. Music by Nini Rota.
• Funiculi Funicula - A lively Italian tune in the Tarantella rhythm.
