Here's a tune I'm just learning, which I thought was called Birdcatchers, however I've since discovered it has the much more amusing title of The Beaver!!! YAY. It comes from a manuscript of tunes written down in Lincoln in the 1770's. So..here I am again, looking serious, pulling odd faces and wearing yet another check shirt......I'm not as serious as I look on these honest!!!!

  • Are you playing what's known as the "english style" on the anglo concertina? (left- handed chords and right-handed melody?) Thanks!....it's a lovely merry tune and you play it beautiful! Liz

  • Hi Liz, yeah I'd describe the way I'm playing as pretty much the English dance style of playing. glad you enjoyed it, cheers LIAM!

  • hey? what brand concertina is that? it looks like one of those sherwood anglo's hobgoblin sell... but then again so do most metel ended anglo's could you fill me in here? :) Also good playing, ive only learned cock of the north and drunken sailor on anglo lol

  • Hiya, yeah my concertina is a Sherwood...made by Ashdown....it plays really nicely...which really surprised me when I picked it up in a shop.  I hate the fact that most playable anglo's cost soooooo much. Anyhow's hope to see some of your vids soon, cheers LIAM!

see all
