He was something of a prodigy playing from the age of 8 at all sorts of social functions where music was required, including pubs.  While his greatest prowess was on the anglo-German concertina, he was first rate step-dancer, a fine singer and also played fiddle, melodeon and tambourine.  He was famous in his local area and played almost every weekend at The Stone Quarry Pub for over 40 years.  In the mid 1950s Reg Hall met him and invited him to play in his loose-knit band of musicians.  Their playing schedule covered the usual pub gigs, private parties and also included a trip to London where Scan played before a full house at the Royal Festival Hall.  Game to go anywhere, Scan accepted invitations to clubs and festivals around the country and thus became known and loved by a public beyond his own place and time.  Mostly recorded by Reg Hall, these 55 tracks \\x96 expanded and remastered from the 1990 vinyl LP \\x96 open a window to our musical past.  A labour of love, this double CD is a fitting tribute to one of the greatest traditional musicians this country has produced.    \\r\u003cbr\u003eTopic Records are proud to reissue these important recordings from their archive as part of the label's 70th anniversary celebrations.\u003cp\u003eSchottische\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePolka\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePolka\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne Step: Down On The Farm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Broom Dance\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStep-Dance\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Reel\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStep-Dance\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWaltz: The Man In The Moon\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile Shepherds Watch Their Flocks By Night\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo.2 Step Dance\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBarbara Allen\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSchottische\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Last Figure Of The Lancers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePolka: The Girl I Left Behind Me\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Brook Street Schottische\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePretty Little Dear\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSchottische\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJig: The Seventeenth Of March\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWaltz: Sweet Smiling Faces\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWearing Of The Green\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJig: The Irish Washerwoman\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWaltz\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStep-Dance: The Monkey Hornpipe\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePolka\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo Verses of Oxford City\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSchottische\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo Verses of A Week Before Easter\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePolka: Jenny Lind\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarches: Scotland The Brave \/ The Happy Wanderer\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Indian Polka\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Heel And Toe Polka\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSong: The Lakes Of Coalflin\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePolka\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePolka\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWaltz\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePolka: Not For Joe\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePolkas: La Russe \/ McCusker's \/ Jenny Lind \/ Goodnight, Ladies\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSee Me Dance The Polka\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Waltz Vienna\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Heel and Toe Polka\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSchottische\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStep-Dance\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStep-Dance\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSchottische\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo.1 Step-Dance\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePolka\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSoldier's Joy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNutley Waltz\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Carnival Is Over\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSchottische\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI Wish They'd Do It Now\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo.1 Step-Dance\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBusking On Brighton Beach\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLearning The Concertina\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54452031488385,"sku":"244121","price":24.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/41UfmQpr3lL._SL1500.jpg?v=1751542767","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/244121","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
