JOHN WATCHAM is one of the most influential players of the Anglo concertina – the lead musician for Chingford Morris, Albion Morris, Brighton Morris and Taylor’s traditional English Morris dance teams. He has also performed with folkrock pioneer Ashley Hutchings and played on the Rattlebone & Ploughjack and Son of Morris On recordings, and he is also featured on the Anglo International! CD.
Specializing in Cotswold English Morris dance music, his playing has a solid understanding of the unique timing of Morris dances, and often incorporates an active bass line and inventive chordal accompaniments.Here are 50 tunes as played by John, carefully transcribed to be played on a 30-button Anglo concertina.
All tunes feature the same easy-to-use button numbering and tablature system found in the Rollston Press concertina books, along with Button Maps to show exactly which buttons are needed for every tune. QR codes are included with many of the tunes to link to videos of John and others playing concertina, often accompanying English Morris dancers.
