TapTheForwardAssist Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 I wanted to show a friend a clip of the versatility of the English concertina, and it's driving me crazy I can't find one specific player. Not sure if she deleted her account and videos are lost, or if I'm just not searching right. In the mid-late 2000s there was a young woman who posted several clips on YouTube of classical and jazz-y music on a notably larger than average concertina, irrc posed on a stool in a relatively upscale living room or such. She had several clips and seemed like a really solid player, and the recording quality was (for that time) notably better than average. And she posted it at a time when not so many concertina players were posting on YouTube, so had a bit of a head-start in popularity. Does that ring a bell for anyone? Is that artist's work still up?

That thread is not about her, but about some files that used to be on her web site. I’ve just had a look at her site and there doesn’t seem to be anything there more recent than 2015. She was a member here, with two different user names. Neither has visited concertina.net since 2012. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bill N Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 She seems to be active as a film maker now, with music featuring prominently in her work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Note her words at 43:50 -- “I’m a bit out of practice with the concertina.” So I guess she’s living in Wales, now. She was in France 15 years ago, and was living in the US when she came to NESI a few years later. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bassconcertina.net Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 what kind (bass, baritone, treble, ect,) kind of concertina is she playing in the first video. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John Wild Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 (edited) I believe it is a baritone-treble, i.e. a treble extended down to include the baritone range. Edited February 9 by John Wild typing error Quote Link to post Share on other sites
