Sunny Jim Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Well I've been hanging around outside the door listening to nice music and peering through misted up windows at all that heavy squeezing for a month or so thought I'd say hello. Lapsed concertinist returning to the fold after quite a lot of years. The intent back then was more a minor contribution to the general merriment in small sailing boats and mountain bothies than any pretention to musicianship, relying heavily on the peculiar sound transmision properties of alchohol laden air to smooth over the odd stuck reed and wayward semitone or three. But now a new begining, armed with a very nice Morse Geordie. Currently ploughing my way through all these monthly tunes and weekend somethings - I've still got about 2 years to catch up.

alex_holden Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Welcome to the forum Jim! I've done a bit of Youth Hostelling and camping in the Highlands and fancy giving the Mountain Bothies a try someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Mansfield Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Hi Jim, welcome to the forums. There's a small but dedicated gang of Morse Geordie owners on here, so you're in the right place for all the hybrid-reeded baritone concertina chatter you can desire or cope with!

maki Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 If you don't mind me asking what type of boats were you using? The Pelagic Isle are bless with a huge range of seacraft, both the very latest and some of the most ancient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunny Jim Posted October 15, 2014 Author Share Posted October 15, 2014 Maybe Epipelagic- being on the edge of the continental shelf. ~ 20 ft bilge keelers. Think not 'Gin Palace' but 'Rum Hovel'.

maki Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I'm down with rum hovels, humble beginnings and all. When you say bilge keelers do you mean twin keel boats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
