   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.

John has been a regular visitor to Lewes. This picture shows him playing while riding in a dray to celebrate the launch of the beer 'Revival' which Harveys of Lewes brewed last autumn specially for Bellowhead's latest tour.
