Robin Harrison Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 I lead a session twice a month in a pub, the Caledonian, in downtown Toronto where we play primarily English tunes. This recent session I am delighted to say we had 7 concertinas present ! 6 anglos and one lone English. 2 Dipper anglos (they are brothers), 1 Jeffries, 2 Edgleys, 1 Wheatstone and a Dipper English Before you English players start feeling sorry for your mate, let me tell you he plays an Dipper English that is probably the loudest concertina I have ever heard. He yields to no man! The 2yr old Dippers Paul Read and I play are wonderful, wonderful anglos and really loud instruments ( both wooden ended.) Paul Read is 4th from the right and I am on the extreme right. Loads of fun. Robin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill N Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 And a good looking group to boot! I was thinking of coming out, but you lot would drown out my humble Morse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No English sessions around here, sad to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Read Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 I think one of the Edgleys is actually a Morse Robin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdms Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 (edited) I think one of the Edgleys is actually a Morse Robin. Why punctuation is important: I spent about a minute wondering what a Morse Robin is, since I've only ever heard of the Ceili, Albion and Geordie... (Not to pick on you, Paul--I'm just being amused at myself for forgetting who started this thread.)

Brian Peters Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Looks like fun, Robin. Next time I'm in Toronto I'll try to call in. With my melodeon. Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Timson Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Looks like my sort of session. Sadly I'm unlikely to make it to Toronto in the foreseeable future. Looks like my loss. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
