The 4th Button Boxes & Moothies Festival of Free Reed Instruments will be taking place in Aberdeen 6-8th November 2015
"It’s an exciting time at the Elphinstone Institute at the University of Aberdeen. On 6-8th November 2015, the fourth Button Boxes and Moothies festival will again be held there, attracting musicians and enthusiasts from many parts of the UK and Ireland. This is a unique event and will bring together a splendid array of instrumentalists who play mouth organs, concertinas, melodeons, Jew’s harps, and diatonic button accordions. The perfect place, on an otherwise cold winter weekend, to enjoy a fantastic selection of music by some of the very best talents around, both from Scotland and further afield. There will be several opportunities to meet the artists and to take part in informal sessions which will be happening in local music-friendly pubs."
Invited artists include:
Alistair Anderson (Northumberland, England)
Wendy Stewart (Edinburgh, Scotland)
Mary MacNamara (Co. Clare, Ireland)
Rósín Broderick (Co. Galway, Ireland)
Breanndán Ó Beaglaoich (West Kerry, Ireland)
John Spiers (Oxfordshire, England)
Ness Melodeon Band (Isle of Lewis, Scotland)
Norman Mackay (Highlands, Scotland) (Pictured)
Will Pound (Warwickshire, England)
Noel Battle (Co. Westmeath, Ireland)
Michael Wright (Oxford, England)
More information and tickets are available at: Button Boxes & Moothies
Cheers,
Dick
