Saul Rose.

Other than that My mate John, crap on the instrument. However, he is willing to buy beer on the spot, so that makes him great.

Ted Clark is a good melodeon player. He is so economical in his movements and utterly reliable in his timing and pace.

A Malodeon is a musical instrument played with maloderous intent by people with cotton wool in their ears- usually for morris. There are only two more noxious instruments in this world - two Malodeons. (after Ambrose Bierce - Devil's Dictionary)

I like John Kirkpatrick playing the melodeon - I can only imagine that a malodeon is a source of malodeur, in which case it's a good job you asked for UK players, which leaves out Spaw!

I think you mean Pete Coe.

Chris is his ex-wife who plays hammered dulcimer and duet concertina
but, I can assure you, not melodeon.

JK is my favourite everything (almost) but the list of top melodeon
players has to include

Andy Cutting
Tony Hall
Simon Ritchie

Anahata
(that last names's not supposed to be part of the list, I wouldn't vote for myself)

Hi Breezy - nice thread!
The Chris Coe I know doesn't play the Malodeon - Duet concertina - like Ralphie , and brilliant hammer dulcimer - but Pete certainly plays the Melodeon. And he is pretty nifty with the basses on it!
I have to vote for Anahata as the best - not because he would never play another accompaniment for my songs - but because he is the most amazingly good musician I have had the pleasure of working with.
