Our concertina band day took place in the magnificent ballroom at Stamford Arts Centre. Our musical director, Paul Barrett, again provided the 30 participants with a range of tunes arranged for treble, baritone and bass concertinas. The tunes varied in familiarity and complexity and players of all abilities thoroughly enjoyed the experience and rose to the challenge.
Turn on (and off) each player in turn to hear some of the tunes we learnt during the day.
