Reels on the English Concertina

Simon Thoumire concertina


This guy is amazing to watch. A lot of sound comes out of that little box.

Hmm, it's not really that fantastic- for a start there is no way that he is playing Madame Bonaparte as a reel - he's just playing it as a hornpipe but fast. (And it's actually Billy Pigg the Northumbrian piper's version of the tune which Alistair Anderson played). Based on the playing on his records I was expecting something much, much better than this - his notes are quite muddy and there is an awful lot of key click, some of the chords he drops in are a bit ropey too. 7/10
