SqueezEast Sunday 9th June 2024
Booking for SqueezEast Concertina Band Day is now open.
We are pleased to announce that our day will be led by Paul Barrett,
who will provide all the musical arrangements.
The cost of the day has remained at £15 for a number of years,
but this year, due to additional overheads, we have had to make a small increase.
However, we hope you will agree that the day is still excellent value.
We ask that bookings are made and paid for in advance to allow us to
prepare and duplicate the music and inform the venue of the number of attendees.
Details of the event, along with a link to our new online booking system,
are given below, but if you have any other queries please do not hesitate to contact us.

Instruments
Skills
and Music
|
We welcome players of English, Anglo and Duet concertina systems. The music will be arranged in parts to accomodate players of Treble, Baritone and Bass concertinas. Players are welcome to bring more than one concertina to the event.
Whilst players of all skill levels are welcome, some music reading will be essential. Most music will be arranged in the keys of C, G and D, but F and Bb may also be used for some pieces. Music is normally presented in Treble Clef, but Bass Clef versions can be provided if required.
Music is not sent out in advance. This not only saves money on postage, but also means that all players learn the music together. We request that the scores provided are returned at the end of the day.

Players of Piccolo and Tenor/Treble concertinas are most welcome, however specific parts will not be provided for these instruments, the Treble lines will be suitable.
Players with long distances to travel will find a range of suitable accomodation available in the area.
