Ptarmigan Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 I've asked your question on my own forums troach, so if I get any answers, I'll come back to you. However, I've linked my threads over there, back to this one, so hopefully he'll come on here & tell you himself. Must admit though, it doesn't sound like a typical Scottish Session ..... Too many Gentlemen! e.g. You do know that the definition of a Gentlemen is someone who owns a Bodhran, but doesn't play it! Cheers Dick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimLucas Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 You do know that the definition of a Gentlemen is someone who owns a Bodhran, but doesn't play it! So I'm a gentleman? But then the "gentleman on bohdran"... was he sitting on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Dick ' So the Edinburgh quintet consisted of a 'fellow', two 'women' and two 'gentlemen'. Class distinction is obviously alive and well in Scotland !

Dirge Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Hello, Just back from a trip to Edinburgh Scotland. While there, we dropped into a pub called Whiski at 119 High Street for an evening of traditional music. The group included a fellow playing a 48 key English concertina. I didn't get a chance to say hello and was curious if anyone might know his name. This would've been Tuesday, Sept 28. If it helps, the group consisted of our English concertinist in question, a woman on piano accordion, a gentleman on bohdran, a gentleman playing fiddle and low whistle and a woman playing fiddle. Edinburgh was great. We stayed at the 94DR Guest House on Dalkeith Road and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to stay in Edinburgh. Thanks! All these Gentlemen were there any players? very good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Chambers Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 You do know that the definition of a Gentlemen is someone who owns a Bodhran, but doesn't play it! I was brought up to believe that a gentleman was someone who can play the piano accordion (or bagpipes), but refrains! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't you know that, in the last 30 years or so, the Bodhran was actually added to that list! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ptarmigan Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 The best guess so far troach, is that it was possibly David Corner, but I have no photo of him, for you to check out, sorry. Cheers Dick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidcorner Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 The best guess so far troach, is that it was possibly David Corner, but I have no photo of him, for you to check out, sorry.Not guilty! I'm rarely at sessions in Edinburgh, and I rarely meet other concertina players in Edinburgh, so I've no idea who this might be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ptarmigan Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Thanks. Troach, I have had another suggestion from an Edinburgh member of my forum. Robert Chalmers It would be very helpful if we had some kind of description? Cheers Dick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ptarmigan Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 A friend of mine met up with Edinburgh Concertina player Robert Chalmers last night & he confessed that it was probably himself, who you saw that night. For the record, Robert is brother to another English concertina player, Norman Chalmers of The Easy Club, Cauld Blast Orchestra, Jock Tamson's Bairns etc. Cheers Dick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael sam wild Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 A friend of mine got into some right trouble after a reuest based on a photo asking who he was and it led to questions about why he was there with that attractive woman, a divorce and a lot of grief!
