It sounds interesting, but the one thing I can't glean from any of that is whether this is a free entry event, or whether there is a charge. The flyer doesn't give any indication. I would consider coming but without that information am uncertain. I tried accessing the ICA website for more information, only to find that it told me that Access was Denied, and I was not allowed to view it! Any chance you could confirm costs if there are any?

That was a wonderful event. It was very special to meet and share music with our new Japanese friends; Miyuki's playing is magnificent and she's a delightful and jolly lady. I hope this will lead to more visits. Many thanks to Jeremy Hague of the ICA for being brave enough to organise it all.

I too had the pleasure of hearing and seeing this lovely lady, Miyuki play english concertina at Lewes yesterday. I echo Valmai`s comments. Miyuki`s playing of variations of "Greensleeves" being especially delightful.

Thanks to Jeremy.

Zak.
