Australian traditional. Dave Gittus: button accordion; Julie Gittus: fiddle; Ian White: banjo
As soon as Ian shared a recording of Dave de Hugard playing these traditional tunes we were smitten. De Hugard's arrangement is an interpretation of the varsoviennas collected from old time Australian players from the Nymboida area near Armidale, New South Wales. The first varsovienna is from the playing of Bobby Vaughan, the second from Charlotte Ditton, and the third from Kath McCaughey.
