            Rob is widely considered the most important concertina player of his generation. He is known for his work with Dr. Faustus, Tim van Eyken, The English Acoustic Collective, Emma Reid, & The Three Magpies (Rob, Nancy Kerr & James Fagan. He has been a popular tutor for Folkworks, Hands-On Music & a great many more.

            The workshop will help players of all abilities develop an individual style of playing. It is primarily for English system players but Anglos & Duets are also welcome. Music will be available beforehand but the focus will be on ideas & technique using your existing repertoire, so ear players & readers should feel equally comfortable.
