Stilton was once again the venue for CheesEast’s annual concertina workshop and it was as Brie-liant as usual.
Conductor Paul CamemBarrett had Caerphilly chosen some challenging but fair pieces for the participants to play, such as Highland Cathedral City Cheddar. Under his expert guidance, no one had Emmental breakdown and everyone had Edam fine time.

Important — Please note that rumours that next year’s event will be held in Wensleydale under the leadership of Rick Otter are completely false.
Kettle Bridge Concertinas’ contribution to the 2024 World Concertina Day was a visit to Maidstone Museum to raise the profile of the concertina with a session of performances and education.

Dave Elliott is an associate member of Kettle Bridge Concertinas and a thoroughly useful chap to know. He is an experienced repairer and restorer of traditionally constructed concertinas of all types — large bass through to piccolo — as well as miniature instruments, and all fingering systems.
He is very happy to provide individual advice, event clinics, or group workshops and is the author of 'The Concertina Maintenance Manual'.
