Greetings from Kent

[tallship]

Hi, my name is Pete and I was member of and very occasional poster on Al's accordion forum. I own a (cheap old) piano box, I just can't get to grips with it! My main squeezy thing is English concertina although I have a couple of diatonic button accordions (melodions) which I can get a few tunes out of and I find them fun to play and quite intuitive although getting both hands going at once can be a bit of a task. I'm a Yorkshireman now living in Kent and my main musical interest is English traditional with strong leanings towards the Northumbrian pipers repertoire although there's lots of other music I enjoy too. That's me then, I'm now off to hide in the bellows folds until I have something worthwhile to say!

Welcome, there is a query lower down (from Pippa, in "Tunes") about the core English traditional tunes - you might be the ideal personal to add something worthwhile to that one... I have no idea how you get your head round the English Concertina, lovely instrument though.

Welcome aboard! {}

Thanks for the welcomes, I've now found and replied to Pippa's thread on session tunes. English concertina is very logical Matt, honestly!

Hi Pete welcome on board.
