 The ‘British Button Box’ weekend takes place from September 8th to 10th at the Gleaning Centre, Gravelsbank, Minsterley, Shropshire SY5 0HG. The tutor is John Kirkpatrick, and the course is primarily intended for players of the 3-row diatonic BCC# tuned British chromatic accordion. Gather on Friday afternoon at 2.30pm for 3pm start – depart Sunday 4.30pmThis weekend is very much instrument specific, and John Kirkpatrick will be looking at what you can get out of the 3-row British chromatic accordion. These sessions will not be relevant for players of the Irish style 2-row accordions, tuned a semitone apart, nor for the usual G/D melodeon, nor for the Continental Chromatic button accordion. John’s is based very much on traditional English music and style. As well as covering the fields of Morris tunes, Country Dance tunes, and folk songs, John will also be looking at the complexities of playing in all the keys available on this gloriously compact instrument, and exploring repertoire that may not be immediately associated with this type of accordion. John Kirkpatrick is one of England’s most respected folk musicians. He has many solo albums to his credit, and has also appeared on recordings by many other artists. The price £140, includes all tuition, Friday night buffet, home-cooked lunches and refreshments. The Gleaning Centre website includes details of local accommodation.
