20 Button Anglo Recordings

Recommended Posts

Well I just got my new 20 button anglo. Don't know a thing about it but already I love it. So now I am looking for musical recordings of 20 button anglo as a source of inspiration. Looks like there's not much out there, or at least whatever's out there is not well identified. Can any one offer any suggestions? Thanks for any assistance rendered. brian

You could take a look at the Recorded tunes link page, then you could do worse than downloading Alan Day's excellent series of audio lessons for the 20 button anglo. I can't find a direct link to that just now but someone will be along shortly to do just that I'm sure. Oh and welcome to the forum btw. :D

Many thanks Tallship

The link is in the Teaching and Learning section under

My Anglo Concertina Tutor is now on line. Here is the site

( http://www.etambenami.com/Anglo%20Concertina%20Tutor).

Etam Benami offered this download service free to everyone after receiving a free CD from me. Thanks again Etam.

There is a link to the dots for the tunes and other free downloads if you just click on my name.There is not a link yet to the tutor from there.

As the others have said, starting with Alan Day's tutor is a great idea.

 

If you are looking for inspiration from recordings of two row players, you should check out the William Kimber CD (Absolutely Classic, EFDSS) for English style on a 20 button, and Dooley Chapman for an Australian take on it (find it via Google). For traditional Irish on a 20 button, search this Forum for a recording of Micho Doyle. Also, check out any recording of Kitty Hayes (A Touch of Clare is a good one) or Elizabeth Crotty. If they are playing in C or G, they are likely playing only the 20 buttons.

Brian if you know what ABC means this http://concertina.datenbrei.de/?ABC-Musik/ABC-Musikst%FCcke will help. Even in german you will find a lot of links to tune compatible for two rows. Trial and error.

 

Easier wil be this http://home.allgaeu.org/kwenger/konzertina/ and look here http://home.allgaeu.org/kwenger/konzertina/

Alan, I'm afraid you've given out my url with a typo. It's http://www.etanbenami.com and then select Anglo Concertina Tutor from the no-frills directory listing. I've given it as a link here, so anyone interested can just click it.

 

This is a left over website from a project that I completed, and it has enough room to host a few more things. I promise not put up any pictures of nude humans with concertinas or advertise herbal supplements to improve your playing.

 

And I really do recommend Alan Day's tutor for anyone who does not have a teacher available.

Sorry I spealt your name wrong Etan (or was it Fred),I have a mental block with names and even for me to get a near miss with yours is a compliment to your help with this link.With about seven hundred hits on the link to your site so far represents a hell of a lot of CDs and postage you are saving me.

As for Latin since Roger Digby retired from teaching it,it has lost a bit of it's charm.
