Gander Dave
Started life as a cello player which I had to unlearn on discovering trad. music. Later about 1983 bought the wrong system of concertina (english-ah the ignorance of youth) which I have battled with ever since. As far as traditional Irish music goes it is a little bit like an unruly nag, it needs a firm hand and a degree of perseverance to keep the feel, decoration and rhythm as it should be.
Rediscovered the cello in sessions when working in Scotland which was fun. I currently play a lovely session near Leicester, mainly trad Irish, but Nickelharpe and gurdy players have been known to turn up.
