Damien Barber is a superb singer English Concertina and melodeon (C#/D last time I met him) player who lost a finger in an arguement with a car's fan belt earlier this year.

I have since read a post in uk.music.folk that said that not only is he back playing brilliantly minus one finger, he has taken to the guitar and is doing exceptionally well on that as well! Not sure which finger he lost though - I'm pretty sure it was a little finger but can't remember which hand.
