squeezbxhvn Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 If you were to find 3-5 places in the world, where are the most concentrated areas of concertina players? Why? 1 out of how many people play concertina in our world? Your guess....? (accordion players don`t count)..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Hall Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 There will be at least fourteen concertina playes (and even more concertinas) at the Portsmouth Maritime Folk Festival in just two short weeks: http://www.newenglandfolknetwork.org/pmff/. and its all free - Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peter Laban Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 I think there's a good score around here, the dozen houses along the two miles of my road hold at least three concertina players. When my son was in National (primary) School there were eight or nine children on the concertina out of a 50 pupil school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yankeeclipper Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 There is some merit in the scarcity of concertina players. In our neighborhood music sessions, I am always the best - albeit the only - concertina player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why?1 out of how many people play concertina in our world? Your guess....? (accordion players don`t count)..... My wild guess would be 1 out of 25000.....in comparison to 1 in 25 for guitar players. I like to think in those terms because it makes ya feel special!! Countries...Ireland, England & maybe Germany. It seems abit odd to be playing the concertina around where I live, but Im proud of it and think it very underestimated as to its usage in putting out great music!!!

Oh when will they ever learn Oh when will they ever learn. Isn't that a song by Peter Paul and Mary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Dunk Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Isn't that a song by Peter Paul and Mary? They certainly recorded a popular version but I seem to remember that it was written by Pete Seeger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Hersh Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 There are lots of us, relatively speaking, in my part of California (the San Francisco Bay Area). I know of around 50 players and I'm sure there are others. Daniel If you were to find 3-5 places in the world, where are the most concentrated areas of concertina players?
