John Spiers, known better in folk circles as Squeezy, has made a name for himself as one of the leading squeezebox players of his generation. Well known for his long-standing duo partnership with Jon Boden in the formidable Spiers & Boden as well as his contribution to the massively popular Bellowhead, John has also played with Eliza Carthy’s Ratcatchers and a number of local folk-dance bands.
The workshop will cover using chords on both hand to fill out the sound, with some new repertoire on the 2-row melodeon in D/G.
Some music will be sent out in advance.
