Jadwiga, good to hear from you! We usually bump into each other at Concertinas at Witney in September - once on the point of trying to effect a burglarious entry into the grounds of the Henry Box School, if my memory serves me right.

The annual Concertinas at Witney weekend is run by Dave Townsend and is thoroughly recommended, with different levels of tuition for all the main systems and the chance to try some orchestral-style playing if you want. Inspect the Hands-On music website - I'm at work and can't set up a link from here.

Did my old eyes deceive me, or have I seen Jon Boden at the controls of a McCann?
