JimLucas Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Jim Mate Steady old chap days will soon be shortening why not , perthaps ...dare I say... GET OUT MORE ? Peter, I assume you're referring to this post? The funny thing is that I wrote that just after returning from an evening out... at the local bonfire celebration of the fact that night's are again getting longer. (Here in Denmark they do that on St. Hans Day, which always seems to be a couple of days after the actual solstice.) Maybe I should get out less?

Charles_Mackay Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 (edited) If you live in Denmark the Concertina Connection in Helmond, Netherlands isn't too far away. Barleycorn concertinas in Stoke on Trent is also a first rate source if you are in the UK. Not sure where in say Glasgow or Edinburgh you'd buy a concertina. Best way is to try it first. I had an Anglo for a year but converted to English, which is more versatile and you can play in whatever key is needed. 'What shall we do with a drunken sailor' would be easier on an English than Anglo if that's any help.

JimLucas Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 I am off back to scotland (I live in denmark) for a holiday soon. Where in Denmark? If you sail to Scotland, I'd be inclined to guess Vestjylland. I'm in Helsingør. 'What shall we do with a drunken sailor' would be easier on an English than Anglo if that's any help. I disagree. I play both English and anglo, but I'm far better on the English. That said, I find that "Drunken Sailor" is a song that's particularly easy on even a 20-button anglo, though also easy on the English. I think that's true of many shanties and non-shanty sailor songs, and whether you want to play melody, chords, or both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
