Archive Recordings Of Concertinas

[Anglogeezer]

I came across this site, http://raretunes.org/ , being an archive of scottish music.

 

Amongst the performers it has the following links to recordings of the concertina.

 

Walter Dale. http://raretunes.org/performers/walter-wattie-dale

 

Tommy Dale. http://raretunes.org/performers/tommy-dale

 

James Dickson. http://raretunes.org/performers/james-dickson

 

Jack Easy. http://raretunes.org/performers/jack-easy

 

Stuart Eydmann. http://raretunes.org/performers/eydmann

 

Alf Edwards is included in their index but they have no recordings.

 

I particularly liked this mouth organ!!

Thanks for posting the link. I came across this site devoted to rare recordings some years ago and this is where I first heard Walter "Wattie" Dale and his son playing their concertinas. I have enjoyed revisiting the site. There is some lovely archive material there featuring some excellent playing from musicians most folks will have not heard of. Geat stuff! I am sure other C.netters will enjoy surfing it and listening to various tracks, as I have done.

Jake, thanks so much for posting this, a recent discovery for me, and nice to see a bio on Walter Dale. I've got one of his 78's with hornpipes on one side and I don't recall what on the other, and have offered mp3's to the site (assuming I can find them).
