I recently saw a recording of Alexander Prince[woodland flowers played on english concertina]. I understood he was a Macann duet player,did he play english as well.

Hi Cap'n,

I got interested in Alexander Prince years ago when I used to play the english concertina.

I can't answer your question though.

I do have a collection of 78s by AP which I have assiduously and slowly garnered over the years through visiting junk shops etc.

It is very hard to find anything out about AP. If anyone has information I would be most interested.

Go to Concertina Library and search, you may find out something you don't already know.
There are some digitized recordings of AP here
University of Santa Barbara

Jake
