Jack Easy (Joseph Maley), Concertinist. 1901-1980

[Geoffrey Crabb]

It has been my ambition to sort the mammoth amount of long held concertina etc. paperwork acquired over the many years of Crabb involvement.

During this exercise, I came across this complimentary picture from Jack Easy, 'The Musical  Midshipman'.

Probably in our collection because 'we' maintained his instruments, albeit they were mostly Wheatstone.

This player has been discussed variously and the picture may be known but I thought I would post it.

Some more Jack Easy photographs. He was a great friend of my concertina playing pal from Haydock, Lancashire, Harry Hatton and I met him a few times.
