Come to The George Inn (with your Anglo) on Nov 5 Monday, 20,00 to 2300 just 100 yards from London Bridge. Will be various people who can advise. Do you know the 17 bus or is yr "North" London like up the M1/AL!? There should also be some concertina people (but mainly English not Anglo_ at The Horseshoe Inn behind the hospital at London Bridge (Melior St I think_)from 1200 to 1500 on Sunday Nov 4th. May be it is time to start a regular gathering of beginners and intermediates who can make lots of mistakes together and start learning a few toons ensemble, meeting somewhere accessible in central london near a tube. It could be the Euston Station Piazza in the bus stand, or perhaps someone's garden shed. I am not sure what the deal is on Friends House for cheap or free rooms - oppositre Euston. ps what Anglo have you got? Hi there! I work in London Bridge so that's great! I bought a 20 button Palatino just to start me off. Hopefully I'll make a few contacts at the George. I can't believe noone officially teaches (that I can find anyhow!). I'm going to have to channel my self-discipline in learning this instrument!

Hi, I've not been playing anglo long compared to other instruments, but I'm close to north London (South Herts) and I feel like the only concertinist in my town.. If I can help you learn anything I have learned ask away. Thanks for the offer. I need more technical help initially...any advice would be much appreciated. I feel like I'm the only one in London at the moment!

Hi there, I've just bought my first concertina having been inspired by a solo perfomer. Just one problem...I can't find a tutor to set me on my musical journey! Please can anyone recommend a tutor, or a musician who's willing to help me gather apace on my 20 button anglo concertina. I'm based in London (north). Cheers in advance!
