drbones Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Nah, that's the one from Leningrad Cowboys, they just painted it brown. Can you tell what the guy sitting in the chair is playing? It looks like he's squeezing something under his left arm. Bagpipes maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Wild Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 (edited) Was there a concertina player in the "Titanic" ? there was one in the 1950's film A Night to remember, but not I believe in the more recent film. the player in the chair is playing the uillean pipes. I believe the band in the Titanic film was Stocktons wing. - John Wild Edited November 10, 2008 by John Wild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Was there a concertina player in the "Titanic" ? I found this pic. Looks really big. .......... I don't think so. The band is called Gaelic Storm. The accordion player is Patrick Murphy In 1997, Gaelic Storm was catapulted out of their formative pub haunts by an appearance in the blockbuster film Titanic. Cast as the "party band" in the steerage scene, http://gaelicstorm.musiccitynetworks.com/i...37&sid=5431 Thanks Leo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Wild Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I don't think so. The band is called Gaelic Storm. The accordion player is Patrick Murphy I stand corrected. I had only a vague memory. Stocktons Wing must have appeared in another film in a similar scene but i have no idea now what it might have been. - John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They supplied traditional music for dance. I'm almost sure this is the scene: The Field - The Dance Still no Concertina Thanks Leo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Booth Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 ...The Field... Is that the one where they used "My Bonney Lies over the Ocean " as a recurrent theme? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try this alternate one: It should work. It's really a good story. I haven't seen it in years and I wish I could find the whole movie.

Roger Gawley Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Has anybody mentioned this website? http://www.mediarare.com/MRFilmSq.html Mostly piano accordions but lots of references. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Barnert Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Has anybody mentioned this website? http://www.mediarare.com/MRFilmSq.html Mostly piano accordions but lots of references. Back in the 1990s, before there was concertina.net, many of us fed our habit on the newsgroup recmusic.makers.squeezebox. That's where this list was compiled. I submitted a few entries.

Ptarmigan Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 I just watched the start of 'North to Alaska'. North to Alaska A young fella is playing a Concertina on board a small ship & as it heads out to see, John Wayne throws the young fella overboard ... with his Concertina ... & he ends up swimming ashore, still clutching his Concertina!

Cheers Dick Hi Dick Maybe he needed a flotation device. Open the bellows for air. It would have also been needed later when he serenaded later in the film. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WlCIdtn4SYU&fmt=18 That scene is at 1:45 into the trailer Thanks Leo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Adey Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Bing Crosby in 'High Society' sits in the bottom of a boat 'playing' and singing (? 'True Love') to Grace Kelly,working the bellows on a hideous red 'concertina' as if he's trying to pump up an air mattress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi John It's here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4awCZr7GwY&fmt=18 If you prefer the whole movie, click on the right "Play All Videos" http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=A71D800459C5F6A7 Still only used as a prop. No real playing. Thanks Leo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiddlehead Fern Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I recently (a few weeks ago) watched "Tess of the D'Ubervilles" from A&E/BBC, and there were quite a few concertinas shown.....along a cameo appearance of a serpent! Several of the characters (background musicians) played Anglos, but the hero played an English--I just KNEW he was a good guy! The dubbing was rather painful though. Not quite as bad as I've seen before, but close. Apparently the concertina is easier to appear to play than the violin is. Yes, Gaelic Storm was in the Titanic.....I've never seen that movie, but I have been to see the band a few times. Oh my gosh--the musical equivalent of caffeine, let me tell you.

Leo Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Tess of the D'Urbervilles has been on TV, and in the movies since 1913 at least a half dozen times. At 2:45 in the 1979 version called "Tess" there is an English concertina in the band. They are really playing. It shows up a few more times as the girls dance in the fields. (It's the whole movie. click play all): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYgvtVl5FSw...629&index=0 In this trailer there is an English concertina at :40 seconds into the clip, but I'm not sure of which movie it's from. Maybe 1998: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zikn3xYDirw&fmt=18 Thanks Leo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
