about

We put these together as a medley because we sometimes do this in our live shows. I was introduced to The Bluebell Polka by the great Irish accordionist Pat Mac. The tune was composed by Scottish accordionist Jimmy Shand who had a hit with this tune in 1955. Danse Norvegienne was written by Edvard Grieg in the late 1800's. Django Reinhardt recorded an improvisation based on this tune in the 1940's. In 2013 we have performed and recorded our own different arrangement and improvisation on this tune.
