Curso de Acordeón Cromático con el británico John Kirkpatrick, Shropshire – UKby Rob Howard |
 Desde el viernes 7 de septiembre hasta el domingo 9 de septiembre, John Kirkpatrick dirige un taller dirigido específicamente a los intérpretes del acordeón británico agudo con tres filas B / C / C. El lugar de celebración es Church Barn, Church Lane, Bishop's Castle, Shropshire SY9 5AF. El acordeón británico agudo de 3 filas B / C / C es un instrumento híbrido que combina una gran disposición de botones de melodeón agudo con un teclado bajo Stradella. El sistema se desarrolló en Italia en los primeros años del siglo XX, pero no se conoció hasta que se hizo famoso por Jimmy Shand a fines de la década de 1930. Los talleres para este sistema raramente se llevan a cabo, y John Kirkpatrick es el máximo exponente de Inglaterra. John Kirkpatrick es un muy respetado intérprete de instrumentos diatónicos, como el acordeón de 3 filas, melodeones y la concertina Anglo, y también es un cantante y compositor de música popular. En una carrera que data de 1970, ha grabado muchos álbumes en solitario y ha aparecido en muchos más como músico de sesión. Ha sido miembro de Steeleye Span, Albion Band y Brass Monkey, y principalmente trabaja como solista. Para más información, escribir a: squeezer@johnkirkpatrick.co.uk |
