Jersey, where I live, is a melodeon desert. In fact it is a bit of a folk music desert but, dare I say, improving a little.
Last year, I heard my first good, live melodeon player playing with a band at our local Arts Centre. Sam Mebbett - he was superb and I really feel that I learnt a lot from listening to him.
Next Tuesday, we have a concert by Rachael McShane & The Cartographers, which includes Julian Sutton on melodeon. What a treat that’s going to be!
I have booked my seat in the front row 😊
Can’t wait!
