The Irish Concertina: A Tutor for the Anglo Concertina in the Irish Style

As an active song club organizer for many years before moving to Devon in 1983, Mick Bramich's connections with traditional music go back to the heyday of its revival in the mid-sixties. He comes from the Birmingham area where he trained as a tool maker and later as a teacher. He is known as a singer and guitar player to many older hands on the folk club circuit but has been an enthusiast of the Anglo concertina since about 1979. His style of playing developed independently and it was by accident that he discovered he was playing in what is loosely termed the "Irish" way. This tutor combines his teaching skills with an inherent love for the material being taught.
