Subject: RE: jigsand reels on english concertina
To guest,the competition had two entries the other person didnt turn up,. the point is that you are providing music for people to enjoy,the people in the room enjoyed it,some of them were under 18 anglo players,it is good for them to hear music well played and on the English Concertina,[broadening of the horizons],showing that it can be done, ridding people of misconceptions. Richard Bridge,it was Edel Fox that praised my playing,so I think I can say,that I am leaving it to others. and whats all this squit about Englishmen,That sounds like a racial stereotype. Finally I enter these competetions,because I enjoy playing music [I also believe Comhaltas is worth supporting]we are all open to improvement [myself included]and the adjudicators comments are often a way of doing this,particuarly when the judge is someone of the calibre of Edel Fox.
