The "Blaydon Races" is a traditional Geordie folk song that celebrates a famous horse race in Blaydon, near Newcastle upon Tyne. The harmonica can add a lively and soulful touch to the song, enhancing its upbeat rhythm and nostalgic themes. Players often use a diatonic harmonica in the key of C to perform it, capturing the spirit of the race and the joy of community celebration. Incorporating harmonica into this classic tune brings a unique flavor, making it even more engaging for audiences.
