John Kirkpatrick Corso per Fisarmonica Britannica Cromatica, Shropshire - Regno Unitoby Rob Howard |
 Da venerdì 7 settembre a domenica 9 settembre, John Kirkpatrick conduce un workshop specifico per i suonatori di fisarmonica britannica cromatica B/C/C a 3 file. Si terrà a Church Barn, Church Lane, Bishop's Castle, Shropshire SY9 5AF.La fisarmonica britannica cromatica a 3 file B/C/C è uno strumento ibrido, che combina una grande disposizione dei pulsanti melodie acustiche con una tastiera a bassi di stradella. Il sistema è stato sviluppato in Italia nei primi anni del XX secolo, ma non ha raggiunto una grande notorietà fino a quando non è diventato famoso ¬grazie a Jimmy Shand alla fine degli anni '30. I workshop per questo sistema vengono organizzati raramente e John Kirkpatrick è il principale esponente per l'Inghilterra. John Kirkpatrick è un musicista molto rispettato di strumenti diatonici come la fisarmonica a tre file, i melodeon e Anglo concertina, ed è anche un cantante e compositore ben noto. Durante la sua carriera che risale al 1970, ha registrato numerosi album da solista ed è apparso su molti altri come musicista di sessione. È stato membro di Steeleye Span, Albion Band e Brass Monkey, e lavora principalmente come musicista solista. Per ulteriori informazioni scrivere a: squeezer@johnkirkpatrick.co.uk |
