Aldon Sanders Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Hello fellow concertinists, Does anyone here know the names of the themes from Monty Python's Flying Circus & The Benny Hill Show? I mean other than the blantantly obvious names. Any historic knowledge of these tunes is also welcome. Does anyone know of any concertists playing these songs? They both sound like they would be fun to play on EC. Thank you for any leads and pertinent information! Aldon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Wild Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 (edited) Liberty Bell is a Souza march. it was featured on a recording by the New Mexborough Concertina Quartet, where the players were Nigel Pickles, Rob McKie, Steve Dickinson, and Dick Miles. I believe it was a combination of bass, baritone and 2 trebles. Edited March 3, 2019 by John Wild edited for typing correction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aldon Sanders Posted March 3, 2019 Author Share Posted March 3, 2019 Thank you Paul_Hardy! I found the abcs for Liberty Bell on your link and got it converted to pdf sheet music. The chords are included! Excellent! This is going to be fun to play around with. Thank you John Wild for the additional information. I'm going to look for recordings of the New Mexborough Concertina Quartet. Aldon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aldon Sanders Posted March 3, 2019 Author Share Posted March 3, 2019 Bummer. It looks like the New Mexborough Concertina Quartet's album is only available as an LP, which I am unable to play (no record player). I'd happily purchase a CD or mp3 (wma, itunes) if someone can point me to a link. Maybe I should start another thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could try contacting Steve Dickinson, who is still trading as C.Wheatstone & Co. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
