Morris Music

GMM are extremely fortunate to have Pam Miles as our lady musician.  Pam also plays for Dacre Ladies.
Pam's first instrument is the accordian which she plays with style.  Thank you Pam!

Most people agree that "squeeze box" Morris music is best played on a "diatonic" instrument.  This means that you get two notes per button according to whether you are pushing or pulling.  This gives the music an inherent rhythm.
(Imagine having two mouth organs joined by a bellows).
Pam is currently developing her skills on a diatonic instrument -
 a melodeon, similar to The Squire's.



Bill and Ged also play a diatonic instrument: the Anglo Concertina.
