Guest Old Leaky Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 (edited) Er, I'm a concertinist and was in Olso at the end of May. But only for a few days, on my way to Tromsø ... PS I didn't see anything even remotely resembling a concertina while I was in Norway! Marius must be pretty lonely...

JimLucas Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 GOOD FOLKS: many -- MANY -- months ago there was an inquiry about concertinists in Norway. . . . . .i noted that I knew of one, but that I could not remember his name. . . . .if finally came to me. . . . .MARIUS WORMDAL. . . .an architect by profession. . . . .i believe he lives in or around Oslo............. With a quick google I found a couple of references -- same name, same profession -- with addresses, phone numbers, and a common email address. (There were also a few articles -- in Norwegian -- about projects he's worked on, but nothing about concertinas.) Rather than publish them here for spammers to harvest, I've sent them privately to Allan. I'll gladly send them to anyone else who sends me a PM requesting them.

stuart estell Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 I wonder if that's the chap who came to Swaledale a few years ago; I'm sure he was called Marius. If so I think it was then that he made the leap from a Stagi 30-key anglo to a medium-sized Maccann duet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragtimer Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Duet and golf, Ragtimer. So what's you handicap?Chas Neurological, mostly, plus advancing age Three years ago I had the golf 'cap down to 30, but it's climbed back up to 41 now. Lately it seems like my concertina playing is like golf -- still fun , but not getting any better with practice. But not getting worse -- yet You must have found my Web site, or did I mention that evil Scottish plague somewhere here? Say, let's hold a Scottish concertina contest: Everyone plays the same tune through, then the winner is whoever reversed bellows the fewst times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
