Can anyone identify this tune

Can anyone name this tune please or is it simply one made up by the accordion player to demonstrate the range of registrations on the box?



Thanks

Hello Phil,

Sorry, I have no idea what this tune is. It sounds a bit Scottish, but I could very easily be wrong. Certain parts of it reminded me of "When The Boat Comes In" but, then again, I may be barking up the wrong tree.

Anyway, it is a pleasant enough tune. I hope someone can tell you what it is.

Kind Regards,

Stephen.

It is called 'Inisheer' , named after the Aran island closest to the coast of Co.Clare.

Yes, it does sound a wee bit Scottish, though it is a recent composition by a visitor to Ireland ( as far as I recall).

Thanks for your help guys. I guess it's now up to me to try and copy this performance as I have exactly the same accordion with all these 11 treble registrations. Should be interesting to see if they sound the same. i don't think he changes the bass registrations whilst playing,
I found the music with several variations but hopefully I can work out which chords he is playing.
