We are changing the format of our monthly meetings and from now on will feature a guest speaker or performer at meetings.We have had many fine players in the past from all over the world so please support the sessions,which are as always free.

 

The speaker at our next meeting will be Neil Wayne who will give a talk on Northern Concertina Bands illustrated with unique memorabilia and recordings from his collection.This will be followed by the usual music session.Neil was instrumental in introducing many of the remaining band players 1970's to the younger enthusiasts .I remember with great affection meeting many of them at the Concertina Conventions that Neil organised.

 

The December meeting on 8th December, will also feature our Christmas Dinner so we will start slightly earlier at 7.30pm.If you want a Dinner reserve places with me.The cost will be around £20 for a five course meal and mince pies and coffe. Places are limited so contact me asap to reserve a place(s).

It was avery good and interesting talk with lots of anecdotes in Neil's inimitable style! Good information sheets were passed around.

He says it's all going on his concertina museum web site eventually .

 

I know one recording of the 'chat' as Neil called it and the contributions from the other enthusiasts at the Royal was made.

 

As an insight into the social history of the Northern bands it was great.
