concertina band

[dussek]

I have read a lot about concertina bands and have seen a lot of historic pictures of them. But I don´t have any idea how these bands might have sounded. Does anybody know a good recording?

Hi dussek

 

I'm not sure of any older recordings or sounds, but there are a few modern samples. I can't imagine them being much different, other than better quality of the audio.

 

A modern band playing an old Sousa march:

It features

The Ashton Under Lyne Concertina band World Champions and the Heywood Concertina Band Runners up.

Two fantastic recordings from about 1935

And there is , of course, the Hawkwood Concertina Band recording released last year or thereabouts
