15 Apr 15 - 11:49 PM (#3702101) Subject: Seeking concertinist Ciaran in Oz From: GUEST,Wellsy_Brisbane Can anyone give me a contact for an English chap, called Ciaran ( Ciaron ?), who plays Anglo concertina, and is on tour in Australia at present. Ciaran is a slender chap, glasses, short greying hair. I met him performing at Easter at the National Folk Festival ina ceili band, but didn't get his surname. I want to talk concertina with him (what else is there to talk about, really?). THanks |

It might be handy to list names you've googled and discounted... but here are a couple I came up with Ciaran O'grady at the July festival or on concertina.net (photo there too) Ciaran Hanna youtube Sorry, I don't even know if they are playing the Anglo. |

He currently is based in Melbourne, but I don't have contact details. Doubt if Pam would know as he wasn't a booked guest, but Norm might have a contact through ITM circles. Or Chris Ghent may have his number... Great player with imho more than a touch of classical influence in his ITM playing. MC |
