Thanks for that, Captain.

It looks like some folks here, just read the thread's title, without actually bothering to read the initial post to find out what it's all about, in the first place.

Absolutely not JW.
If you read the existing lists, you will see quite a few English musicians names in there.
It doesn't matter to me where a musician just happened to be born.
I'm interested where they are living now & playing their English Concertinas.
They could be Chinese, Australian or Klingon, it really doesn't matter to me, just so long as they do play the English Concertina & are resident in Scotland or Ireland.

Clear now? :-)

Cheers
