Spring forward!




This is a short edit of footage shot in Lambley, Nottinghamshire between January and March 2012. The footage gives an idea of the kind of transition scenes I want to use in the film I am currently making about Lambley.


Permission to use the music – 'Lannigan's Ball' (Trad) and a little of 'Herbert the Sherbert '(Martin Ellison) – has kindly been given by John Crawford of 'Sheepish Grin'. On the CD that the music comes from the tracks are described as:


'A slow version of a popular jig which seems to sit well with Martin Ellison's great tune.'


I have clumsily faded the music to fit the footage I had - in the finished version I intend to edit the film to fit the music.


John has kindly offered to let me use any tracks on the CD for my 'Cowslip Sunday' film project - and is happy to record something specifically for the film - what a star!


'Sheepish Grin' are Richard Mecia (fiddle) and John Crawford (melodeon) and they play traditional British folk music – below is a short piece of film showing them performing at Cowslip Sunday in 2010. They can be contacted at:
