Geraghty Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Frappr is a website where people can locate others with similar interests - geographically. You can place a pin on your location, and see where other people can be found. There's a map for concertina players now - http://www.frappr.com/concertinaplayers . Maybe you'll discover unknown players in your area! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Evans Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Just put myself in there. Kinda' cool. It will be fun to watch the map grow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Evans Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Just want to warn folks...by putting your location on the map along with the required email, you'll start getting hellos from folks whose interest is not...concertinas. Nothing whacky, but it never crossed my mind that non concertinists would reach out. Such a clueless ole' duffer I am. P.S. Henk you devil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peter Laban Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Wow, what are the odds of that?! Within three miles from my house I'd probably be able to find a few more including Kitty Hayes, Myriam Collins, Martha Clancy, Edel Fox and Jackie Daly and that are only the more wellknown ones. The map doesn't cover the area very well though and tells me it's an 'invalid city' . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cream-T Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Even out here in the very sticks of rural Devon, I only have to drive for about 5 miles to get to the nearest Crane Duet player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually there are quite a few Anglo Concertina Players in Maryland too. Some of them fairly good.. but nothing like the talent near you. Sigh... I envy you. -- Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are however some clouds over the coastal region. Are you hidden there? BTW: Ennis is the place where I bought my Marcus a few years ago, and the place where the famous supermarket is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susanne Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Haha, it works!! I've never managed to find my town on this thing before. And I've improved the statistics for EC players. It's cool to see Ennis there. Is there a way to see it more detailed? That would be cool. I was there in november 2004 for the trad festival. I still wonder if they have warm scones with cream and strawberry jam in Ennis. I didn't find real good scones until I got to Shannon airport. When I was in Cork they had them everywhere..

Daniel Hersh Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 So I'm now on it, and I'm encouraging other players in my area to join it too....but has anyone else had trouble uploading a photo there? I tried a jpg but it didn't take and was wondering if maybe the file size (285KB) was too large. Daniel Frappr is a website where people can locate others with similar interests - geographically.
