Practices & Performances Cancelled
Due to the current restrictions imposed because of the COVID-19 virus, until further notice all Kettle Bridge Concertinas practice sessions and performances have been cancelled.
However, thanks to the wonder of Zoom, we are managing to keep in touch with each other.
One of our Zoom get-togethers
We have two regular sessions —
- Alternate Sundays at 11:00am. An informal chat for members. No playing is involved!
- Every Monday at 3:00pm. A playing session led by Sue. This is aimed at beginners but all are welcome.
The Concertina Tinker
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'.
For more information, visit his website at http://concertina-repair.org.uk/.
