Two years later... I just chanced across a youtube video of JC talking about his experience buying a concertina and having it modified to play Zulu music, and felt a stab of sadness that I never managed to see him in person. My dad introduced me to Juluka / Savuka at an early age, and their music and story were hugely impactful to me. I figured I'd search to see if he'd been a member of this forum and saw this post.
