I got the tune from a Belgian website - I think it's Flemish. Probably best place to start. Only recording I can find quickly is of the 2nd (fast!) part here:
And don't worry about the tunes. Some will know them, most won't. That's why I'll send the music round in advance this coming weekend and why we have at least 90 minutes beforehand to try pieces out and see what works. There's always something people can play, whatever level they're at and however little they know the music!
You should have received details by email of the Gloucester event on 21st November - love to see you there.
If not, the next is at the Nova Scotia, Bristol Docks on Sunday 13th December at midday - details to follow in a few weeks. This will be our Christmas event naturally!
Both will have (I hope) lots of players of all abilities, so your will feel, very much at home.
Sorry, but I've been away at the Nonsuch Dulcimer Weekend in Malvern - and the World Congress of Dulcimers that followed. Still catching up on sleep!
Yes, I coordinate the Bristol Do's which we hold at the Nova Scotia every month. Because of the big dulcimer event being so close, the next one in Bristol is Sunday 13th - our Christmas event! But there's also a smaller meet in Gloucester on Saturday 21st November late afternoon (good for shopping beforehand!).
Yes, we're at the Didmarton Bluegrass Festival and there should be workshops on the Saturday and Sunday, so choose whichever day makes most sense (and which has the best acts!). The workshops will be more for beginners but plenty of extension work - and Robin Clark and I are always happy to give some one to one advice and/or jam!
Well, we're all on our summer break at the moment. Plenty of workshops at Folk Festivals - Shrewsbury in 10 days, Didmarton (Gloucestershire) at the beginning of September.
Then we're back in Bristol, probably on 11th of October at the Nova Scotia. Do I have your email address? If not, I can add you onto the regional dulcimer event list.
Nothing really 'instant' Sheila ! I'm a bit tied as I am full time carer for my wife. What exactly are you after, I play mainly noter drone, but have many diffdering forms of MD here. Always happy to 'chew the fat' over a cup of tea ?
best wishes

Hello and welcome to the site. This is a great place to share ideas and listen to music. I hope you enjoy!

Good to see you on this site. Presume from your profile that you're already a player and in search of good music. We holds meet not v far from you in Herefordshire and Bristol. Let me know if you'd like to be on the circulation list.

Hi Sheila
I got the tune from a Belgian website - I think it's Flemish. Probably best place to start. Only recording I can find quickly is of the 2nd (fast!) part here:
Fil d'air - Rémi Decker - Muziekweb
Albuminformatie voor Fil d'air van Rémi Decker.
Will be great to see you, Sheila.
And don't worry about the tunes. Some will know them, most won't. That's why I'll send the music round in advance this coming weekend and why we have at least 90 minutes beforehand to try pieces out and see what works.

Don't let me put you off the workshops - there should be something for all abilities....and of course it will be the easiest place to find us!
But if you're stuck, we will be in a large Burstner van and wearing a large wooden flower in our button holes, dulcimer-shaped of course!
No, it's a small place. Just wave a dulcimer and we'll find you....!
All the best. Geoff

If it helps, I attach a version of She Moves Through the Fair which I hope was the song you were looking for.
