JimLucas Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 Dave Elliott has suggested to me we could include a concert/talk as part of 2006 Bradfield Traditional Music Weekend, if there was enough interest.Starting with the weekend's original incarnation,the" English Country Music Weekend 2003" we have always had a strong concertina content.I make this offer even tho I am not a Jeffries fan!<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Sounds a good idea to me. And while I am definitely a Jeffries fan, I'm not at all a Jeffries-only fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamBradshaw Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 And while I am definitely a Jeffries fan, I'm not at all a Jeffries-only fan. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> We have been looking at doing an anglo concertina feature at several festivals next Summer, as part of the Anglo International project. This would obviously include some Jeffries players, and could serve both purposes. The general format we are looking at is to use some of the players from the Anglo International CD set, who may or may not be already booked at the festival in one of their other guises. There has been some interest in this, but we would welcome any suggestions members might have.

Don't forget the website: Anglo International Graham Hi Graham, Four months on from your last posting on this topic, is there any updated news? Regards, Peter. Hello Peter, Yes, I think I posted something on another thread. However, here is the latest state of play. We have 3 festivals in the frame. One has definitely committed to it, and the other 2 still to confirm. It will definitely be happening at Warwick Folk Festival on the weekend of 21/22/23 July 2006 and booked so far are John Kirkpatrick, Brian Peters and Chris Sherburn of Last Nights Fun. We are currently negotiating with others to add to this. They will all perform in a special Concertina Concert on the Saturday night in the Bridgehouse Theatre, and will also be doing workshops over the weekend. Saturday is the main concertina day, but there will be workshops on the Sunday as well. The festival have also booked Alistair Anderson, who will obviously be doing an English workshop plus a concert spot. The workshop programme has not been published yet, but I'll post it on here when it is. And I'll keep you up to date on any developments elsewhere.

Gavin Atkin Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 As a long-serving Jeffries duet player, I'd be very interested to hear about any Jeffries Centenary celebrations that I might be able to get to please... I'm not a frequent attender here (I've got SO much else going on) so I'd be most grateful to hear about anything important at my home email address gmatkin@clara.net please! Thanks, Gavin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
