There is no doubt but that Noel Hill and Tony Linnane's 1979 album is a gorgeous and classic album. . What might not be so well-known though is that Noel plays between 80% to 90% of the material on the album on an A𝄬/E𝄬 concertina. An A𝄬/E𝄬 concertina is the E flat equivalent of a G/D concertina. The only 2 tunes played by Noel on that album in C/G fingering are the Hornpipe "Johnny Cope", (on a B𝄬/F concertina) and the Reel "A Pigeon on the Gate", (on a C/G concertina).

Would you mind posting the clip of the performance, please.

"I'll just go and pump the concertina" just doesn't have the same ring to it as some of the other verbs.

Have you considered an introductory course in music theory.

As the road sign says, "Speed kills, kills, kills ... "

Both. 😉

I have two of these.

Cortina driver?

afaik Ormonde is on Facebook.

Eskin, I knew of somebody selling one, a few months back. I'm not sure if the seller, he, still has it, but it's possibly worth checking out. It was a Jefferies 30 key, and it sounded gorgeous. DM me if you'd like to check it out. I only hold a mobile number, unfortunately, but you're welcome to it, if you wish. John.

In short, never, but that could just be me.

... but if you have a problem, you can take it back to the maker ...

Try Google.
