Steve Wilson Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 G'day All, This Easter just past in Oz we celebrated the 50th National Folk Festival. It's quite an event, folkies and all sorts come from all over the country. There were easily more than fifty concer players. With the coming together we were able to stage a little "stunt" to draw attention to concertinas. Here tis. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVXfH-6BoBg Enjoy. Cheers Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defra Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Looks like a lot of fun, Steve. But you, as I presume the sole English concertina player (?), looked rather lonely on the outside of the circle at first! Cheers Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Hare Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 (edited) Nice! Confirmed for me that: Springtime... really must be a popular tune/song in Australia. I have just learned this tune 'off the page' and it seems that, I have advanced far enough to be able to pick up a tune from a score, play it, and have it sound approximately like the real thing. Progress at last!!! Ta. Roger Edited April 1, 2016 by lachenal74693 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
