It’s probably how street view works - two picture tiles joined together, but not quite joining properly. Jake

Just checked this auction out. Lot 1572 sold for £1900, hammer price. Lots 1570, 1571 & 1573 were unsold, I presume they failed to meet their reserve. Jake

A tune called "Banks", have you heard of it?
Anglogeezertoo replied to Anglogeezertoo's topic in Tunes /Songs
"Interesting" is a good word for it! I find the placement of the rhythmical stresses very awkward. The A part is 4 bars & the B part is 8 bars. So ... I've doubled the length of all the notes and inserted extra bar lines to give a tune with A = 8 bars & B = 16 bars. Now it doesn't look so intimidating. I didn't want to be struggling with Eb either so I transposed it to G. Here's the ABC :– X:1 T:Banks C:Collected by Alan Dyer, editor of The International Concertina Association magazine, in Durham C:and published in edition No. 339, 1986, P.12.

A tune called "Banks", have you heard of it?
Anglogeezertoo replied to Anglogeezertoo's topic in Tunes /Songs
Thank you, Takayuki YAGI, that’s it. It’s strange, how you can look for something for ages & ages and not find it, yet someone else goes straight to it! I was searching again tonight and straight away I found two scores at Musescore.com ~ thats the strange way the web world works. Jake -
I'm always on the look out for new/different tunes and here's one called simply "Banks" that intrigues me. It was collected in Durham by Alan Dyer, editor of The International Concertina Association magazine, and published in edition No. 339, 1986, P.12. I can find no other references to it since then and I wondered if anyone here has come across it. For my own use I've transpose it into G & made some other small changes but here it is as published. .... Banks in Eb.pdf and the abc. ..

Rosewood & Brass concertina case for auction in UK
Anglogeezertoo replied to Anglogeezertoo's topic in Buy & Sell
Well, the box sold for £110, hammer price ( = £143 with buyers premium & tax) The painting sold for £280, hammer price ( = £364 with buyers premium & tax) Jake -
Well, the box they are in has a label inside the lid marked :- TONI & TINA, 140 Findon St, Sheffield. A quick Google takes us to The Concertina Museum and a selection of photos of the duo with some of their instruments. Also, From 'Papers of The International Concertina Association; Vol 9, 2012' here; http://www.concertina.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/PICA09-2012.pdf An article titled ' Miniature and Semi-Miniature Concertinas' has the following information "Toni & Tina" (sometimes bill as "Tina and Nita") was the musical variety act of Edward and "Tina" Potts, who performed on miniature, small,7 8 and regular-size English and Maccann duet concertinas, as well as on the xylophone. They previously performed in "The Concercordions and Nita," a concertina-accordion-xylophone act led by Edward's father, concertinist G. W. Potts (see Fig.A2.7).7<? Some of the concertinas have the name plate G.W.POTTS on them, which of course must be his father. Jake
