Nabio Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Hello, I'm wondering what concertina related attractions are available in London, UK. This can include makers, sellers, performers (including Morris dancing), group lessons, and history. Probably because this is a niche interest, there wasn't much I was able to find aside from a couple of music stores. Curious about anyone's knowledge on this. Thanks!

Richard Mellish Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Well, there are several of us in London who play concertinas. The lunchtime session on the first Sunday of each month generally has a few concertinas as well as fiddles and blowey things, and not many melodions.

Ken_Coles Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 I'm interested to hear the answers also. My wife and I will be in London the week of July 24-28 of 2023. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takayuki YAGI Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 (edited) You can also see the ex-Crabb's workshop, although it is only the exterior of the building. https://goo.gl/maps/GG8LRRUrJk6RjAZM7 158 Liverpool Road, Islington, London Edited December 7, 2022 by Takayuki YAGI 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamond Squeezer Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 Greenwich Morris Men use a concertina, as do Madder Mill Molly of Carshalton, Surrey and North Wood Morris Men, Croydon. All three sides were part of the North Wood Morris Men London Tour on Saturday 10th December on the South Bank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
