stevethesqueeze scottish concertina information (12) RE: scottish concertina information 05 Dec 06


Thanks almost everyone.

I had some very informative personal messages which I am grateful for. I didnt realise there was such a rich tradtion regarding the concertina in Scotland and I have already learned a lot. I didnt know Derek Moffat in the Mccalmns played the concertina and also thanks to Brian McNeil from the battlefield band who also plays, I didnt know that.

But main thanks to JACK CAMPIN. I discovered an essay by Eydmann entitled the The Working Class Adoption of the English Concertina. It seems Archibald Ross ran a Concertina shop and several concertina playing parlours that taught the Concertina. He didnt play himself apparently ( although I may have evidence otherwise) but has great aassociations with the concertina or "wee box" as he called it. I also see the AM Ross music trophy is still awarded as part of the Glasgow music festival.    thanks again
