𝄞The Concertina DetectiveThe True and False History of the ConcertinaDave Townsend presents an unreliable history of the concertina, playing a cornucopia of unlikely music on this little instrument, while the audience guess which of his tall tales of the squeezebox are true and which are false. The repertoire ranges from Bach to Tchaikovsky (and most stations in between), from plainchant to tango – but which of the pieces are real concertina music?
