Ptarmigan Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 (edited) While trawling for information on those musicians in Scotland who play the English Concertina, I learned of a few musicians who, I'm told, play the Anglo Concertina. Do you know of any others? Cheers Dick Anglo Concertina players in Scotland ~ The List {9} Paddy Callaghan ~ Glasgow Nigel Gatherer ~ Perthshire Willie Haines ~ Edinburgh Willie MaCrae ~ Ayrshire Catriona McArdle ~ Glasgow Ian Munroe ~ Kilmarnock Colette O’Neill ~ Glasgow Kevin O’Neill ~ Glasgow Alex West ~ Aberdeen Scottish players not resident {1}: Dick Glasgow ~ Co Antrim Edited August 9, 2009 by Ptarmigan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know of any others? Marie Fielding Marie is principally a fiddle player, but has taken up Anglo concertina. She is a member of John Carmichael's Ceilidh Band, who played on "Take the Floor" on BBC Radio Scotland last Saturday, and the broadcast included a solo set of tunes on concertina.

davidcorner Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 I've just remembered another player, Lindsay Porteous, of Culross, Fife. Often, he would be the only other entrant in the concertina competition at Kirriemuir Festival. Lindsay's main instrument is the Jew's Harp, at which he is, in my opinion, the best in Scotland, but he plays several other instruments, including tin whistle, mouth organ and anglo concertina, and has been known to invent a miscellaneous instrument for a Miscellaneous Instrument competition .
