Brian,thank you for taking the trouble to type out all the song titles and thank you as well for putting me right about the type of concertina she played. I can now see, since looking again at photos in Rosie's book, that Angela's concertina was always being held in thumb straps and so, as you say, was not an Anglo. In her book Rosie tells us that Angela was especially proud of her Anglo concertina because it had once belonged to William Kimber and I therefore jumped to the mistaken conclusion that the concertina she played was an Anglo. I should have looked more carefully.Do you know what has happened to Angela's William Kimber Anglo Rosie? As Brian says above, Angela was indeed a remarkable woman. I am enjoying reading your book about her, Rosie. Thank you.
