There may be nothing wearier than a twice-told tale, but I've just started separate threads about the concertina part-playing and English tunes practice sessions Spare Parts will be running again this year. Music is available in advance as dots, pdfs and midis if you want it.

We'll mostly be in the Rotary Hall - anyone allergic to concertinas should consider themselves warned.

It's a shame to have lost some of the traditional venues, but I've no doubt we'll make the new ones feel like home in pretty short order.
