With all the discussion about concertinas in Morris Dancing I wonder if there are any sides in Australia?

THe short answer is yes - one of my husband's workmates is very involved with Morris dancing. 'Fraid I don't really know more than that.

Thanks Chris and Malcolm. I can't see any concertinas though?

Actually I think I now remember seeing Morris Dancing at the National Folk Festival in Kuranda in 1990.

The current squire of Sydney MM plays a Jeffries G/D anglo and I believe several other members also play concertina.
Maybe the photos were all taken by concertina players...
