    It's interesting, reading this article (thanks for posting it, Peter). From another C.net posting, it appears that Harry died in 1988. I think that he probably dismissed the "Folk" players, and only commented on those who played in the "Classical" style. When I joined the ICA, in 1985, Harry's estimation of numbers would have appeared correct, judging from attendance at the meetings.

     

    Harry Minting gave a talk at one ICA meeting, in 1987, about his time as their last Manager (I believe that was his title). I recorded his talk, and the recording is now with the ICA Sound Archive.

     

    Regards,

    Peter.

    OOh so what happened to 'The best concertina ever made' (a 1925 Wheatstone, apparently) which he owned?

     

    I'd like to hear Stanley Holloway backed by 'box too. Off to Youtube then!

    I can't seem to find the ICA recording mentioned above. Please help me to access it. Regarding the best concertina ever made - it's with me perhaps? But mine was apparently made in 1926. No. 30959.
