Daniel Hersh Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Does anyone know anything about Paul Sath? He may be in France. He just posted some nice concertina videos at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLrxZU5i8dN6rsmZl22qFGA/videos . He gives credit to "G. Carrère" for some of the compositions and arrangements - I'm not familiar with G. Carrère either. Here's a video that he posted on Facebook: 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Wild Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Gilbert Carrere as I understand it founded an association for concertina players in France. At various times he was booked as a tutor for workshops at Concertinas at Witney or the WCCP weekends at Kilve. This entry is from the clubs/organisation page of the concertina faq (www.concertina.info). The contact details may not be up to date. Association Francaise pour Now has upwards of 30 members, le Concertina and a newsletter entitled Contact Gilbert Carrere at L'Hexagone. 183, rue Championnet 75018 Paris France Phone 01 42 28 42 41 Email Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Middleton-Metcalfe Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 beautiful playing. How nice to hear such a well studied arrangement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soloduet Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 I was just asking him the permission to introduce his new channel here. Gilbert is also a novelist and painter under the name Paul Sath. I think that his wonderful recordings would deserve a place in the Duet Recordings page... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little John Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Nice crisp left hand playing! The balance is good too, although that may have been achieved through the recording. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAc Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Great stuff, all four tracks are excellent. A good singer too! Thanks for unearthing, Daniel, this should definitely go onto TCHR! You'd probably be able to get in touch with him via YouTube PM (all the recordings are brand new). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ritonmousquetaire Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 (edited) Wow, these recording are absolutely fantastic, the arrangements are incredibly "full" sounding and the instrument sounds great (not only is the tone really good, but the bass and treble notes are very well balanced), I'd be curious to know more about it. It sets a nice bar for good duet concertina playing. That audio was also neatly captured, kudos to whoever was on the "sound engineering" side. I didn't know about this french association about the concertina btw, does anybody know more about its activities?

gcarrere Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 (edited) Hi everyone! Thanks for listening to my recordings! Yes I did create once a concertina association, called "Association française pour le concertina" (AFC), but it no longer exists, and was dissolved more than 15 years ago. Members lived all over the country, and we met once, a few of us, in Saint-Chartier Folk Festival. About these recordings, they were done a long time ago by a professionnal. I wanted to give examples of my repertoire, as I intended to play it on stage, which eventually I never did! I am working at the moment other tunes, to be recorded on my webcam, and posted on my channel. Edited December 28, 2020 by gcarrere 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gcarrere Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Some news of my duet concertina channel: still only five tunes available, but I look forward to recording some more... as soon as I'll receive my new microphones (one of my microvox ones is broken), circa february, 15. I have all the scores of the tunes and arrangements. Just ask for them, I can send them in PDF. So long! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gcarrere Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 (edited) Hello, bonjour à tous ! I've just found out (with the help of "WaybackMachine") the hidden version of my old concertina site "Concertina français", which was closed a very long time ago. Not all pages are available, but it is to be considered as an archive. Unfortunately the scores pages cannot be opened, but I keep them available for anybody who will ask me for them. All texts are in French, English an Occitan. Enjoy! Edited April 17, 2021 by gcarrere 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Taylor Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Gilbert's Youtube channel has a number of recent recordings - all of them wonderful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
