I thought this was Favourite melodeon players, which is much more subjective. There are so many ways in which it can be "best",but choosing favourite is more personal. Simon Knight did record a couple of dance recordings with "Show The Lady" available on cassette from Pete Grassby, and a special c.d. was put together by Adrian Tuddenham of Simon's playing and singing.as for choices;
1)Dan Quinn
2)John Spiers
3)John K
4)Tony Hall
5)Simon Knight
ps Sandy from st.Albans Morris used to be the Town Crier, and will know who is now.Orca.
