1998 CD tutor

[shelly0312]

I see a tutor CD on Amazon from 1998--of Alistair Andersons'; I suppose with a little research I could answer one question on my own....but does this CD precede Steel Skies? Or would some of Steel Skies be discuss on it? I know all players rave about live person tuitions with Alistair--how about this CD if I don't think I'll get to see him in person?

Michelle,

If this is the "Concertina Workshop" with accompanying book I have two words: "Get it!"

 

Always encouraging and prodding,

Until recently there was a downloadable PDF of a very ropey scan of the book, this has now been updated to a superb PDF copy, download it for free here:

I have a vinyl copy of Steel Skies and it's dated 1982.

My vinyl of the Concertina Workshop (the music to go with the tutor book) deceased a while ago and I bought the CD - that says the original was 1974.

Chris, just so you know Topic records recently re-released Steel Skies on CD as part of thier 70th Anniversary celebrations :-)

so with hot VISA card in hand I should probably order Jody's CD of ol' time music and Alistairs Steel Skies? seems like a worthwhile project to me!!! Michelle

I would add the excellent Old Time Music CD by Greg Jowaisas and friends.

 

If you buy a bespoke case for your concertina from Greg you may find one inside - I did! I can thoroughly recommend the case too

 

Edited to add a pic of the case:

You'll have to blame Free Reed Records (or possibly Marcus Music) for that typo - but the link still works!
