Brian Peters is an internationally-known instrumentalist & singer with a wide teaching experience on melodeon, including Melodeons at Witney, Folkworks, Music without Frontiers (Netherlands) & a Masterclass at the Australian National Folk Festival. He also gives regular lessons to groups & individuals. Working solo, with Gordon Tyrall, & in various bands, he specialises in Northern English dance music & accompanying traditional song, but has also experimented with blues, Tex-Mex & much else. He is an excellent Anglo concertina player as well.

            The workshop will cover three main topics if time permits (see provisional timetable). Players should have a G/D instrument & be reasonably experienced; music will be provided for readers but by-ear learners are welcome too.

I should of course add that Brian performs at the Lewes Saturday Folk Club
in the evening of Saturday 28th. February.

Tickets are £6 and are available in advance. The new room is much more spacious than our old one at the Lewes Arms, with beautiful acoustics and Harveys beer.

Can anyone explain the difference between a melodeon and a button accordion?
