Ptarmigan Posted October 15, 2008 Author Share Posted October 15, 2008 I note now that the list has become "Scottish players of the English concertina" whereas the thread Title is"English Concertina Players Who Play Scottish Music, In Scotland?, " There is some creeping potential confusion here. I am English, live in Scotland this last 20 years, play english concertina, play Scottish music. Seems now I and a few others shouldn't be on the list as now titled ! Perhaps "People who play english concertina in Scotland might work..." noting the name Ian Munro on the list, I am assuming it is the same Ian Munro I know based in Kilmarnock, though I am open to correction on that point. If I am correct in the identification, Ian is an English exile playing some scottish music among lots of other stuff - on an ANGLO! - John Wild Thanks John, Someone up in Glasgow, remembered that Ian had something to do with running a Concertina club, but he couldn't remember which system he played, so I just bunged his name on until someone spotted it, who could tell me which system he played. Now we know. Cheers Dick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Drinkwater Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Well, with some 40 odd living English Concertina Players Who Play Scottish Music, In Scotland, now known to exist and listed, plus a few sadly no longer with us, methinks there is great potential for a boxed CD set, similar to AI and EI, entitled " English Concertina Players Who Play Scottish Music, In Scotland!" Any volunteers to get this project rolling? Perhaps Wales can be next? Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you, I think it'd probably need a slightly snappier title, don't you ......maybe something like: ~ "Scottish Music on the English Concertina" Cheers Dick P.S. OK So tell me, who's going to start that Welsh List then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeolina Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Re: CD of Scottish Concertina The still developing www.raretunes.org online archive has been established to fill that gap and many more Scottish concertina tracks will be added over the coming months - note you can subscribe for feeds about new material added. Dick - can I start a Dick Glasgow raretunes page? Contact me off piste. Incidentally, I have just been involved in the production of a BBC Scotland TV prog which will feature two elderly (and trully oustanding) survivors of the golden age of Scottish concertina from the mid 20th century. I'll post broadcast details later. Stuart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's face it, you could never get all you wanted on a CD, or even a box set, but the archive is alive, can keep on growing & probably has no limits. As for my own raretunes page .......... :lol: Stuart, I don't know about off piste but I think you must be half~piste! ........ did you pour 'Grouse' over your Porridge this morning? Can't wait to see that BBC prog though. Cheers Dick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
