Bryan - alias "The Snail" on this forum - is indeed an excellent concertina player. He and his colleague from the Lewes Saturday Club, Valmai Goodyear, have done a mighty job of keeping traditional music alive in Sussex, with a packed programme of performers and workshops at their club. The club's seven "Lewes Favourites" tunebooks, plus supplements are a superb compilation of traditional tunes and a testament to the dedication and hard work of these local organisers and performers.

And, while I'm on the subject, how could I forget the years of the running of the Royal Oak club in Lewes by Vic and Tina Smith. Another great club - alas no longer with us, but not because of lack of interest, but because Vic and Tina are enjoying a well-earned retirement from running it.
