 From Friday September 7th to Sunday September 9th John Kirkpatrick leads a workshop aimed specifically for players of the 3-row B/C/C sharp British Chromatic accordion. The venue is Church Barn, Church Lane, Bishop’s Castle, Shropshire SY9 5AF.The 3-row B/C/C sharp British Chromatic accordion is a hybrid instrument, combining a large treble melodeon button layout with a stradella bass keyboard. The system was developed in Italy in the early years of the 20th Century but did not become well-known until made famous by Jimmy Shand in the late 1930s. Workshops for this system are rarely held, and John Kirkpatrick is England’s foremost exponent. |
