Concertina players in here, might like to know that I've just launched a new Concertina Blog, where I'm planning on posting MP3 versions of tunes from this area, played on a variety of Concertinas. So if you are looking for some less familiar tunes for your repertoire, you might like to check them out.

Although I launched this site with a few studio recordings, with me playing a C/G Concertina, I really love playing the more mellow toned instruments, pitched in Bb/F & Ab/Eb, & this site gives me a great opportunity to promote the lovely sound of Irish Music, played on those.

At the links below, the tunes are played on a Bb/F Concertina, so if you learn by ear, it's time to reach for your Capo or C Whistle!
