  • Abstract

    The Taunton Court Leet. Playing the melodeon since he was a boy. Jack Allan and Bert and Fred Bayle in the harbour were all great melodeon players. Tunes that he likes are often from the radio, doesn’t like the ‘folk’ tunes with all the fiddly bits. He learnt the old Hobby Horse tune that Alfie Webber used to play. They had a Hobby Cow in Watchet.
