Alan Day Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Shame no recordings exist of this band. I am still considering the Groups/Band CD and I am in discussion to see if it can proceed. Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Dunk Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I'm sure that Kettle Bridge Concertinas would oblige Alan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Wild Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Shame no recordings exist of this band. I am still considering the Groups/Band CD and I am in discussion to see if it can proceed. Al Several recordings were made at the new event Banding Together last June. The event is continuing in June this year. See website:http://www.clubbz.com/club/35264/ipplepen-kingskerswell-newton-abbot-bickington/banding-together. regards John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Day Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 I will let you know any news regarding this and of course Duet as soon as the information becomes available. Jim Ward has some old recordings and although Graham may decline this band project Jim and I may piece this together in the future. I hope you all enjoyed the Two on English International Heywood and Ashton under Lyne as much as I did. Thanks John for the info. Al. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael sam wild Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 I think Neil Wayne was in touch with people in Oldham, I seem to remember a conversation at Dungworth one night about a wardrobe full of instruments! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
