John Kirkpatrick British Chromatic Accordion Course, Shropshire – UKby Rob Howard |
 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. John Kirkpatrick is a highly respected player of diatonic instruments such as the 3-row accordion, melodeons and the Anglo concertina, and is also a leading folk singer and composer. In a career dating back to 1970 he has recorded many solo albums and appeared on many more as a session musician. He has been a member of Steeleye Span, the Albion Band and Brass Monkey, and mainly works as a solo musician. For further information email: squeezer@johnkirkpatrick.co.uk |
