Ptarmigan Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 When I was browsing through YouTube this evening, I came across this video of the Moorcock Ceilidh Band & to my delight, it looks like the Concertina player, in this particular video is playing a Baritone. The Moorcock Ceilidh Band ~ Da Slockit Light Does anyone here know anything about this outfit? If so, who is the Concertina player?

'Moorcock Inn' up in the wild lands of the Wear Valley. Would that be the same Moorcock Inn as features occasionally in the books of Michael Moorcock? If so, I'd be a bit cautious around them, you never know when they might suddenly change into weird eldritch creatures bearing doom-laden swords, as opposed to the doom-laden concertinas that we all bear ...
