Sid Goldsmith

[gcoover]

I'm not seeing anything on CNET about Sid Goldsmith, so wanted to share a couple of videos of his that I stumbled upon today quite by accident.

 

Absolutely lovely EC playing, awesome sound on the bass EC too!

 

He also plays in the folk trio Tarren out of Bristol. Of course, I had to immediately download the CD from their website. Mostly fiddle, cittern, accordion, and some songs and concertina. Excellent stuff.

I saw Tarren at Shrewsbury Festival last year and was immediately smitten with Sid's EC playing and the band as a whole.

 

I particularly enjoy the stylistic way he'll provide accompaniment to a tune through repeated motifs, almost live loops, rather than a 'traditional' counter melody or chord pattern.

 

He's fitted plates to the ends so that the buttons push in flush to the plate like a button accordion, seems to prefer that.

 

He's good isn't he!

Sid is most definitely an awesome musician, and a member of this forum - so hopefully he'll see this and say hello.
