Trip to Pakistan

A tune by Niall Kenny who said he wrote it in a Breton style. Seem to work as an An Dro, a schottische, or a reel depending on how it is played.  Notation in Em, but could work in Gm on pipes or gurdy.

Hellibore / Too Late to Sleep

A couple of schottische by Naragonia, a Belgian duo (& sometimes a quartet).

Here is a video with  Gregory Jolivet


and a studio version:

Fond the score online and it seems correct.  Will probably trim into a straight A & B of each tune format at some point.

wals voor polle

A tune that I seem to have heard for years. Alex says he and Tim used to play it.  I always confused it with an Irish tune.  Nicole, Calvaleigh, Alex and I meet the fellow for whom it was written at Le Son.

here is a version with Polle plus brass
