Hello. David Paton here. I have been playing English Concertina since 1972 and have a zillion tunes and a unique style that works great for Irish, Scottish and other types of dance music.
I have performed and recorded with many great musicians including the late Johnny Cunningham, and have two albums of my own available from the Smithsonian Folkways Archive of Folk music from Folk-Legacy Records.
I am currently teaching online lessons and would be happy to talk and tell you more about my playing and what I have to offer. Learn to use the bellows to add rhythm to your playing!
Yes, the English Concertina can rock the old tunes!
Here are a few links to my music on youtube.

No matter what your level of experience or musical interests I will be happy to help you with your playing style and repertoire.
Feel free to call me at 860-866-8923 to talk concertina!
Best wishes,
Dave
