I got 'em both.

It's a good photo of 2 siamese twins fighting.

I see you had to separate 'em before you sent those.

Good job!!!

As I haven't seen the photo's I can only guess. At the time (seventies,eighties) I have seen Wilson & Doonan perform together with The Matthews Brothers. They also have recorded an album.

Dick,
It couldn't have been me if they were onstage performing, possible if it was in a session. Presumably the Tony Wilson mentioned is the smaller variety rather than the one built like a brick s---house. If the concertina is a normal size one it's also unlikely to be me as I've always played my 60+ keyed one. If you send me the photo attachment I'll check it out for you.

Jeremy,
What a flattering suggestion!
Had a look at the photo. Considering in 1976 I'd had a beard for about 10 years and was 29 and probably somewhat heavier than the young man pictured. He's a bonny lad whoever he is. Reminds me of one of our old morris team of the era called Rob Lennox but he was a blonde and I'm not sure if he ever picked up a box. Also I've never played a 26. I've had my monster box since I was about 19 and whereas I used to swap about with a DA Wheatstone before I added DA to my box,that was a 30 key.

It's not our Chris either, he'd only have been about 8 in 76 and just starting to play.
