JimLucas Posted April 29, 2009 Author Share Posted April 29, 2009 Oh dear. Do we have to be in tune? Tune in... and find out. Ah, but you did that, Chas. So please give us your impression of the weekend. As one of the principal organizers, I will post my thoughts in a few days, as well as a link to some photos, but I'd like to encourage others to give their own views first. I will say that SSI 2009 was a success, and next year's Scandinavian Squeeze-In is now scheduled for the weekend of April 23-25, 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fidjit Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I think we had a good time. I even managed a shower, but that's another story. Rikard will never live that down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susanne Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 He'll probably be reminded of that for the rest of his concertina-playing life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimLucas Posted April 30, 2009 Author Share Posted April 30, 2009 Thanks, Danny! To those who fear that interest in the concertina will die out... please note the variety of ages of the participants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Timson Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 (edited) Glad you all had a good time. Cheers, Chris PS they're letting me out of hospital today! Edited to add PPS: Yippee, I'm out. 10 days in hospital (even a good one) is long enough! Edited May 1, 2009 by Chris Timson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDT Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Thanks, Danny! To those who fear that interest in the concertina will die out... please note the variety of ages of the participants. So does the baby play the concertina too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hereward Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 So does the baby play the concertina too? Probably better than I do. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Chambers Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 (edited) To those who fear that interest in the concertina will die out... please note the variety of ages of the participants. So does the baby play the concertina too? Yes, didn't you spot it in Danny's photo? It's sitting just above the melodeon that Chas (the fidjit) made at Stowmarket, between a Hohner and a Dipper, right in the middle of this close-up: I seem to remember (from another thread) that Chris Timson has one just like it...

Stephen Chambers Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 And in case anybody's wondering what the piece of paper is, sticking out of the bellows of Henrik's self-made English concertina - it's the bus timetable to Kilrush, so I guess he's firmly "nailing his colours to the mast" for August! Notice, he's done away with the thumb straps altogether now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimLucas Posted May 4, 2009 Author Share Posted May 4, 2009 ...Henrik's self-made English concertina... Notice, he's done away with the thumb straps altogether now... So although it's not really an anglo, neither is it quite a proper English. What does that make it? An anguish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Timson Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I seem to remember (from another thread) that Chris Timson has one just like it... Ssme instrument. I gave it to Pontus and Louise to get their first born started on the right path. Nice to see it again. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Chambers Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 And in the background is the infamous shower door, that Rickard wants to forget. Only you're not going to let him, are you Chas? It's a pity I didn't have my camera handy at the time (it was before breakfast!), but here's a picture showing the two of them later in the day, where he does look like he's in a bit of a hurry to get away from his old adversary: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Drinkwater Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 A lovely group photo but 'who is who'? I recognise Jim, Danny, Stephen, but no one else. Can we have an identification caption naming names, please, i.e. ' in the picture, from left to right we have........'. Also, another one identifying the concertinas would be cool too.
