Gavin Atkin Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Those interested in the Jeffries duet might be interested to know that there are two opportunities to catch the instrument in flight this week. South Coast concertina fans might like to make the trip to the Royal Oak Folk Club at Lewes on Thursday to see Gavin Atkin playing his 52-button Jeffries duet, along with his singing partner Julie Arnott. See http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~tinvic/ for details. And on Saturday Jeffries duet fans within shouting distance of London have an opportunity to see the legendary Mike Hebbert in action with Andrew Frank at the Cellar Upstairs Folk Club near Euston station. More info from http://hometown.aol.co.uk/cellarupstairs/ . Naturally, I'll try hard to be at both events myself ;-) Gav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irene S. Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 (edited) Those interested in the Jeffries duet might be interested to know that there are two opportunities to catch the instrument in flight this week. And I notice that a second chance to see the second pairing exists on 27th March ( a Thursday) when they appear at Islington Folk Club .. more info on that one from http://web.ukonline,co,uk/martin.nail/Islington/IFCdates.htm Edited February 11, 2008 by Irene S.

It was our first club gig together and I'm glad to say it seemed to go nicely from our perspective - we had a friendly crowd and didn't make any errors that seemed too serious at the time. Phew! Maybe Alan Day was there, so maybe he'll fill you in. Gav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Day Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 I was there. A very nice evening. Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Drinkwater Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Had a preview of Gavin and Julie's wonderful duet pairing at Sheena Masson's January sunday session at The Horseshoe, Clerkenwell. Ralph Jordan was also there, playing his Mcann duet. Then there was Rosie and myself on Aeola and Edeophone Englishes, respectively and Alex Szyszkowski and Martyn White playing their Jeffries anglos. Not a bad selection of concertinas, really!

Alan Day Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Julie is certainly a lovely singer. It may put a few of you off that she sounds like Vera Lynn but I have joined her Forces fan club. Moonlight Serenade, Its a Sin to tell a lie and A Nightingale sang in Berkely Square ( lovely jubbly). Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Drinkwater Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 I see 'The White Cliffs of Dover' looming! Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavin Atkin Posted February 18, 2008 Author Share Posted February 18, 2008 I see 'The White Cliffs of Dover' looming! Chris Looming? It's already here. If you can detach yourself from the emotional baggage for a moment, it's a nicely made song. Andrew Frank and Mike Hebbert were impressive and huge fun on Saturday. If you can, I do recommend people get along to see them at the Islington Folk Club towards the end of March. Gav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav Hi Gavin Sorry I missed the Royal Oak - I had intended to try and make it ... maybe see you and Julie at Frittenden instead ? Re Islington Folk Club - date is Thursday March 27th - see my earlier posting above. I'm intending to be there , and looking forward to it.
