While trawling for information on those musicians in Scotland who play the English Concertina, I learned of a few musicians who, I'm told, play the Anglo Concertina.
Do you know of any others?
Cheers
Dick

I don't often get to play very much, because I am usually required to play mandolin, but I do play Anglo concertina, and I have played it in a few sessions around. Do I count?

Most folks will know Kenny Hadden as a Flute & Concertina player, but, like many other Traditional musicians, he can turn his hand to a whole range of instruments.
I learned a great Banjo tune from his Banjo playing, many years ago & in about 1984, he came 3rd in the Concertina Competition at the Kirriemuir festival.
So I am delighted to be able to add his name to our list.
Cheers
Dick

I play Anglo Concertina, either a Marcus G/D which I had made about 10 years ago to sing with with and more recently a Connor C/G so that I can play Irish and Scottish music. I was brought up in Fife and used to cycle out to various villages around Rosyth to play piano for Scottish Country Dancing Classes and dances during 1949 - 1952. A good learning and confidence building excercise!! My fingers are not so supple now but hope to send in some recordings soon. (To Irish Concertina and Concertina in Scotland).
I joined the Irish Online Academy of Music and find the concertina classes very useful, and inexpensive. Alan Lightly Monmouthshire South Wales
