geoffwright Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 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). All musicians and singers are welcome even if you do not want to eat.I suggest if you are not eating you turn up at 9.00pm.

Chris Timson Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 (edited) So do I. We're making a special trip up to the same pub for the carol singing at the end of this month, but that's on a Sunday lunchtime. Tuesdays from Wiltshire is a non starter. Sigh ...

michael sam wild Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 (edited) We'll be there. I've not got the technology but maybe Neil could be video'd or recorded with his permission. I note on Youtube you can get a long programme put on in sections. Edited November 14, 2009 by michael sam wild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael sam wild Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 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.
