this is awesome I just wish the harp were a little louder.
By: madatz2010rox. on 26 Dec 08, 01:58:44
OMG THAT WAS AWESOME!!!!!! I've played pedal harp for a while and now I've decided that I want to learn to play the concertina as well, so when I saw a harp and concertina duet I thought I had died and gone to heaven. It was played really well too, great job.
By: mongorich. on 14 Nov 08, 13:16:46
beautiful playing, beautiful ladies. ahh...
By: beach1963. on 25 Oct 08, 00:30:34
It is most definitely an anglo. Look for my videos of "First Night with my new concertina" and one or two other short ones I put up under my name. Those are played on an Anglo. You just find out which note is which button, and then learn the music by looking at it. After a short while, reading the music can become second nature! There are also good instruction books and videos... can anyone suggest one for malcolmgc? Jen
By: rodtheworm. on 21 Oct 08, 23:30:35
Actually, it *is* an Anglo. ;) English ones have the button rows running away from the hand rather than across as seen on the 30 button Anglo played here. Full-hand straps are also more common on the Anglo, while the English ones tend to have a thumb strap and a metal plate to rest the little finger on. Beautiful playing on both parts anyway.
By: bilmar4. on 16 Oct 08, 16:41:32
That's an English concertina. I've mastered the Anglo and just about to start playing an English. English concertinas have the thumb rests that are illustrated in this video...
By: malcolmgc. on 11 Oct 08, 07:01:33
Beautiful playing!! - has inspired me to buy a concertina - is this an Anglo? Where can you learn to play one?
By: terrafirma100. on 07 Oct 08, 02:51:04

Clare, the ornamentation is extremely subtle and tasteful here, but there's quite a lot.
By: AaronShaunBrennan. on 07 Mar 08, 17:42:41
Now thats fine Irish music!!!
By: lorgain2. on 29 Feb 08, 17:35:57
Two gems, what great music, go no further than Comhaltas for the best in Irish music, well played girls.
By: JSCWhistler. on 19 Feb 08, 02:42:30
Not a common combination but sounds great. I'm still not too extremely fond of the concertina but at least she's not playing slow airs on it.
By: clarebannerman. on 02 Feb 08, 20:29:33
Love the concertina. This is the way it should be played without too much ornamentation. Lovely tempo to the tune.
By: mufc789. on 01 Feb 08, 22:27:07
fantastic music guys !!
By: JamysKinry. on 31 Jan 08, 02:50:10
