- Concertina.net A great site for all things Concertina. Good forums, events info, reviews etc. Links to just about everywhere.
- The Button Box Makers of the Morse line of concertinas. Source for vintage instruments ( as good a source as you can find these days ), quality repair work and generally all around great people.
- Celtic Grooves Philippe Varlet's site specializing in Irish music, especially difficult to obtain imports. Phillipe, a fine musician himself, gives reliable reviews of the latest CDs from Ireland and the US. His knowledge of traditional Irish music recordings is nearly encyclopedic. He is becoming my one stop shop for new music. Get on his mailing list.
- Noel Hill.com Noel is one of the finest players alive, a great supporter of young musicians and an inspiring teacher as well. The Noel Hill Irish Concertina School's motto is "It's no Joke!" While there are a growing number of great concertina players out there, Few play with his depth of understanding of the music, or expressive control and attention to the soul of the music . He has become to the Irish Concertina what Itzhak Perlman is to the Violin or Pablo Casals was to the Cello. His solo playing can take your breath away. Pray for more new CDs.
