Thread Name: The versatility of the Anglo Concertina
Subject: RE: The versatility of the Anglo Concertina
By a very wierd coincidence I have located John Watcham.John is quite famous for his recordings with The Albion Band and is a wonderful Anglo player.As we decided to go for a three CD collection it gave me a little bit of space.When I first started compiling names to play John was one of those names, but he could not be found.John dropped out of the Folk Scene some years ago and only plays for the Brighton Morris side.I had to do a concertina evening near to Brighton and his name was mentioned in conversation and his phone number was given to me.
John has agreed to come out of retirement and do me a Morris Dance set and the wonderful Trumpet and Air(Purcell)that I heard him play way back in the Mr Casey`s Bag days.A coincidence that I hope you will all enjoy.
