Simon Thoumire at Arseguel

oh man, Simon Thoumire is my hero.

 

Mine too, back in Oct '07 I had just bought my Lachenal EC and went along to the Button Boxes and Moothies convention here in Aberdeen. I could barely play a note having had the instrument only a matter of days. So most of the workshops I sat listening with my concertina unplayed on the floor at my feet feeling very self-conscious.

 

I arrived a few minutes early for Simon's workshop on the last day and he was there already scoping out the room. We talked a few minutes and I asked if he'd give my new concertina a play. I filmed him playing it for me. That video, showing just what could be done with my instrument has been an inspiration to me. I've always wanted to thank Simon for taking those few minutes to inspire a learning player. So - hope you read this Simon, thanks.
