Thank you, Geoff!

Sorry I have not had time to give you more Gary,

 

it is "Silly Season" , with more going on than I can cope with but, I'm glad the report was usefull.

 

Geoff.

 

 

PS; very little direct Concertina interest at the Chateau d'Ars festival although I did see one or two around the place. Concertinas are a rare instrument in France.

Concertina maker Colin Dipper is a regular attendee at the festival, I believe.

Hi everyone, thanks for the quote!

 

Colin and Rosalie have been there most year's I've been but no longer take a stall - think the last stall was about 2000. True - this particular festival is very much about gurdy, accordéon and bagpipes
