Sorry Dick, but you can't claim Alf for your list!

 

Though he was apparently of Scottish descent (through his father, a Scottish circus musician) and was wont to play the great highland bagpipe for Burns' Night/New Year, he wasn't a player of Scottish music on the concertina, and didn't live in Scotland - indeed I visited him in his Kensington, London home in 1973, and he died in Worthing, West Sussex.

 

You'll find more about him here on C.net in (amonst others) the thread Alf Edwards' Concertina Sold On Ebay where I transcribed the sleevenotes of his LP The Art of the Concertina:

 

He was born in 1903, a fourth generation-member of a family of itinerant musicians. The family records go back to his maternal-grandfather, a Spanish Jew, who, during the mid-nineteenth century, toured Europe as the leader of a family of musical clowns. Following the tradition of the French 'Augustes' they played a variety of musical instruments while performing elaborate mimes and acrobatic feats. Their stage was the circus ring and the popular music hall. His mother who, among other accomplishments, performed dances on the tightrope while accompanying herself on the fiddle, married a musician who had joined the act so as to help out with trombone, piano, great-highland-bagpipe and several other instruments. Alf was their third child, and by the time he arrived, they had deserted the circus for the music-hall and the variety-stage.

 

"I was born into the act", says Alf, "and as a kid all I wanted to do was to copy my parents." Apart from a two-year spell, during the first world war, when the family settled down for a time in Bedford, Alf spent the first twenty years of his life 'on tour' with the family; twenty years of of theatrical-boarding houses, rehearsals, early morning calls, railway timetables and the stale daytime smell of theatres. Twenty years of hard practice!

 

"I was about five years old when I started to learn the concertina. I'd already had a spell on the fiddle, you know ... learning the family tricks, playing it on top of your head, behind your back, between your legs ... all the tricks that had been in the family for thousands of years ... well, four generations anyhow." He confesses that he never took to the fiddle, maybe it was because his teacher whose methods included corporal chastisement, maybe he thought there were enough fiddlers in the family already. "Actually", he says, "my mother wanted me to be a ballet-dancer so that I could enhance the family act by dancing on my toes and playing the fiddle at the same time. Fortunately I was a failure as a ballet dancer." This did not mean, however that that he was exempted from training; the necessity to learn new instruments was always there. "My mother was a hard taskmaster, she never lost the habits of the circus, practice and rehearsal were as important to her as food and drink. She used to give me sixpence to learn a new instrument."

 

In 1918 the family act was reformed and they set out on the road again, father, mother, daughter and son (Alf), 'The Four Toldinos', "a multi-instrumental act, the finale of which consisted of us all waltzing around and playing fiddles behin each other's back." During the next ten years the family toured throughout Gt. Britain and Ireland, working 'the coal and cotton circuits', the wool towns, the coastal resorts and the industrial cities like Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool and Glasgow. By this time, Alf had added the trombone, ocarina, alto-saxophone, clarinet, piano, great-highland-bagpipe and drums to his repertoire of instruments. "I also did a bit of 'hoofing', you know stepdancing. Oh yes, and by this time I was writing out parts for theatre orchestras, you know, simple arrangements."

 

In 1926 the family, along with many other people, fell on hard times, or rather on harder times, unemployment was widespread, the 'talkies' and canned-music were taking over from the old music-halls, and the outlook for musicians was bleak. During this period Alf and his family were sometimes driven to busking on the beaches at seaside resorts. "I didn't mind playing but I hated taking the hat round. I always felt that a musician shouldn't have to beg after working."

 

In the early thirties, Alf and his wife, a dancer who had joined the act, abandoned touring and the variety stage and settled in London. In the period which followed, he played in almost every type of orchestral combination, in dance bands playing trombone and alto-sax, in radio orchestras playing concertina, drums and trombone, in film orchestras playing anything that was needed. "I never got around to a string quartet," he says, somewhat ruefully.

 

He can still blow a mean trombone but in recent years he has returned more and more to the concertina. "I always come back to it;" he says, "it fascinates me in a way no other instrument has ever done." It fascinates others too, the young afficianados of the British folkmusic revival who are moved by the simple purity of its voice, and the older generation of professional musicians who say it is "the most versatile instrument of them all", and others, like the old studio engineer who, after a recent recording session said: "Alf can get more music out of that little squeezebox than most people can get out of an entire bloody orchestra."

By the way, I get annoyed when I see it said that "Of course, Edwards is shown playing an English concertina on the deck of the ship, while such a thing would actually have been rare. The Anglo version of the instrument would have been the one taken out on a boat", seeing that there's plenty of solid evidence, both photographic and documentary, that English concertinas were taken to sea, and the first Anglos only started to be made in 1851, the year in which Moby Dick is set.

Booo Hooo

 

But seriously, that excellent Stephen!

 

Many thanks for setting the record straight.

 

The bottom line is, I don't really mind how long my list is ...... as long as it is ACCURATE!

 

Anyway, sounds like he was a fascinating character for you to meet, one of those one of a kind individuals, you don't meet every day. The sort that folk say there are far fewer of around, today.

 

Cheers

Dick

 

P.S. He "was wont to play the great highland bagpipe for Burns' Night/New Year"

Hey, how come all you "Bloody Poms" want to be Scotsmen ...... eh? :lol:

 

P.P.S. Now where did that Wes Williams fella go ...............

Hey, how come all you "Bloody Poms" want to be Scotsmen ...... eh? :lol:

I don't think that suggestion would have washed with Alf, seeing that he learned to play bagpipes off his Scottish father - and apparently he cut a fine figure in a kilt!

 

But the trombone (also learned from his father) was his main instrument in the dance bands of the '30s & '40s, notably that of Jack Payne.

P.P.S. Now where did that Wes Williams fella go ...............

I blame Frank Butler - and my less than perfect memory

[Ptarmigan]

I was lucky enough to bump into Jack Beck this week, here in the Glens of Antrim.

 

I first met Jack back in 1973, but I hadn't seen him since 1983, so we had a wee bit of catching up to do.

 

Anyway, he was telling me that he acquired an old Wheatstone from a musician in Fife, some years ago, but he finally got round to having it fully restored fairly recently, so now he's working away on it & learning how to play it, so that he can accompany the odd song or two.

 

So one more Scottish exiled English Concertina player for our list!
