I remember a gig The new mexborough concertina quartet did at Towersey festival,.
we used to dress in black velvet suits with dicky bow ties and black trousers, black boots.
I was living in stowmarket at the time,and had all my gear packed in the morris traveller,before I left Stowmarket,I decided to have breakfast at a transport cafe,being hungry I had two breakfasts.
imagine my horror,when I returned to my car to find someone had stolen my black boots..So being short of cash I was forced to wear a spare set of brown boots.BROWN BOOTS AND TWO BREAKFASTS.Iwas unawre that there was a local tradition of stealing boots.
So we were the sole concertina band, with a member wearing brown boots.,however the music got the feet tapping.http://www.dickmiles.com
