LDT Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Okay so your gonna think this rather random. But could someone point me to images of some edwardian people with concertinas? Why? you might ask (especially when I've been so quiet lately). Well I have this cunning plan...involving a concertina, busking and dressing in costume. I've rather got into sewing particually of the historical kind lately. As you can see I have started with the blouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Laban Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 The Musical traditions photopage used to have soem nice old pics of concertina players but I haven't checked it recently. You may find some other period images there though for inspiration. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myrtle's cook Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 This brought to mind a picture of Crane Driver (of this forum) and his good lady on their home site: http://www.cranedrivinmusic.com/page22.htm (Andrew, in case you suspect you are being 'virtually stalked' I followed the link after buying one of your CDs) Alternatively you might want to adopt Percy Honri's appearance, reclined busking?!

Dirge Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Somewhere around there are some pictures of a rather glamorous looking Sally Army lady with concertina. Was it one of General Booth's daughters? What about that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcoover Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Jody Kruskal's website has an excellent collection of old photos - http://www.jodykruskal.com/concertina_gallery.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Franch Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Yes, Jody's site is wonderful. And, picking up on Dirge's post, it has one or two photos of the gorgeous Evangeline Booth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asdormire Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I don't consider it random at all, as I do something similar with Western wear of roughly the same period. And around Christmas time, I consider doing it, but never do. And I agree with the others that Jodi's site is the place to go. Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Chambers Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 ... could someone point me to images of some edwardian people with concertinas? May I present Miss Eva Taylor; and Miss Christine Hawkes; who had the misfortune to get lampooned in Punch, in a showgirl's outfit; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
