Subject: RE: english and duet concertinas in traditio
Hallo Ralphie,plenty of time for practicing and I know you will do your usual professional job. Tom, the collections are trying to represent all aspects of the instrument,tunes as solo or accompanied with small number of instruments or a band providing the concertina is slightly dominant,song accompaniment,concertina bands which include the instrument and all types of music from classical,jazz,ragtime,folk etc.As broad a range of music and styles as I can put together. Dick, I understand from Graham that Damian Barber now plays duet,but I will double check,thanks. A few names I forgot to mention were Gavin Atkin and Stuart Estell. Niether English or Duet have ever been represented in such depth (or Anglo for that matter)so every care is being made to ensure these collections are as near to what everybody would like to hear and gives a good representation of playing as it was and as it is now.
