It has been mistakenly suggested by FRANK EDGELEY on a different forum, that there were no english concertina players of any note[2003].
I myself have been living in ireland since 1990, then we have geoff woof, MADELINE O DOWD[ all ireland champion].Tony crehan[ Juniors son]vincey crehan[ his brother]. plus acouple of others I have seen recently but dont know their names.
all these people are / were very good.
I MYSELF have recorded several lps and c d s featuring IRISH MUSIC, I recommend my last cd as the best NAUTICAL AND which features several sets of tunes and a slow air CAPE CLEAR [ IRISH], of which I am very proud. I challenge any anglo player TO PLAY CAPE CLEAR AS WELL, Sorry if this sounds big headed but I am absolutely fed up with this concerTina [ one system better than another]CRAP. they all three of them have strengths and weaknesses, that can be overcome by a good player,Its the player not the system that counts.
