Helen Posted January 11, 2004 Share Posted January 11, 2004 Well Pete, I'd give it a shot, but with my geographical disability, I'd never make it. (No, I am not geographically challenged, then there would be some hope, disabled it is.) Jim, I've died and gone to heaven. You said something nice about piano accordions.

Peter Stephenson Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 Could someone record this, and any future sessions with a view of letting members hear how the players of the North West can squeeze ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Prebble Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 Hi Pete, Nice to see you back on the forum. North West ?? Someone else geographically challenged ? From where you live you can nearly spit to the Western outskirts of Sheffield so no excuses, see you there! regards Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoffwright Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 Just be aware, anyone not approaching from the North West (or other geopgraphically challenged people), there is football at Hillsborough tonight, so don't go that way. I am going Hoyland, Stocksbridge By-Pass route from Doncaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d.elliott Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 IT HAPPENED 11 people, free sandwiches from the Landlady, Good mix of Anglos, and English, good range of tunes, Morris, Irish, fun tunes. Two baritones: one Anglo, one English. Fair skill range, covering ears only to dots only, no upsets. Youngest player 17 yrs oldest, well say several over the 1/2 century. Mark has noted the tunes played. Forbidden topics: Glues (Sorry Dave P) Button sizes (but a Swedish Theme night was suggested by one player not to be named) Music stands not mentioned, so bed time, Others can give the rest of the details Dave E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Stephenson Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 Geoff Was that the Royal we ? I agree, as there was no door to the room the sound/noise found the ears of the regulars in the bar who would appear eyes agog, some asking was that Portmouth ? Pete.

JimLucas Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 (edited) ...thinking of a collective noun for Sheffield concertina players... "Sheffleboxers"?

d.elliott Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 reference empty glasses comment. Sharron 1. True Yorkshireman always has an empty glass on show to attract a free re-fill 2. True Yorkshireman keeps his full glass hidden unless someone else pinches his beer As an aside, did you notice both the instruments in the picture are Anglos, the English players were far more......er.....well.....'genteel' Dave E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
