NOTES:

 

I will add some more basic tuition, since I am aiming this particular thread at new and potential players of the Anglo system.

 

I would add that I play Anglo concertina in an "English" style. Whilst I would welcome recordings from other musicians to be posted, it might be an idea to open a separate thread for "Irish" style.

 

I enjoyed making these short recordings, and I hope that you enjoy watching them.

 

Regards,

Peter.
