Subject: RE: english and duet concertinas in traditio
Thanks for the information on Damion Barber I am getting it checked out.
I agree with Dick it is the player not the system.
Listening to great players of all systems it would seem that apart from possibly certain classical pieces, all the instruments are capable of playing the same music.It is only the technique that alters.There are certain brilliant players like Alistair Anderson and John Kirkpatrick that specialise in certain types of music on English or Anglo and the music is connected because of their brilliance to those areas.If John had concentrated on North East music and Alistair, Morris, it may have been the other way round.
Geoff Wooff turns out to be an old friend of mine from about thirty five years ago when I helped to run a sing around at a little pub called The Black Horse at Nuthurst in Sussex , he was brilliant then and I did attempt to try and track him down on this site with our Australian members, but as I could not remember Geoffs name it was an impossible task.He has agreed to give me some recordings for English International so we will all have a chance to hear his playing.
