Thanks, Dick! I should have said that the event is on Sunday 30th. June.

I will find some links to Miyuki's playing on MySpace and YouTube and put them here. She is very good indeed.

Aha! Here are some links to Miyuki's playing:

Tune 1 Moonstomp

Tune 2

Tune 3

I wish I could find the one called something like 'Dragonflight' - it's unusual and good.

And now we have a more detailed timetable:


1.30    Introductions
1.45 - 3.15 Miyuki Part 1 (Japanese songs) + Q&A session about concertina playing and music in Japan + tune swapping
3.15    Coffee / beer
3.35 - 4.45 More tune swapping and if people want to play their 'party pieces'
4.45    short break / beer
5.00 - 5.30   Miyuki Part 2 (Performance of Alamadine composition with double bass player )
5.30- 6.30    Final tunes, photographs etc.

Miyuki and Miho will bring some dots along of Japanese songs we can try out. I also understand that Miho and other members of the Tokyo concertina school, led by Miyuki, have worked up a few pieces to play together.
