West Country Concertina Players

WCCP MEMBERS ENJOYING A TUTORIAL SESSION

Welcome to our site!

WCCP is a club that aims to promote interest in all types of concertina playing and music, to provide tuition for beginners and facilities for players to meet regularly in the West Country. The Society has been running successful concertina workshops and meetings since 1983. We now have members from all parts of the UK and the World who enhance the club with the wide variety of music that they play.

We also have an historical technical interest in concertinas thus with our members and their knowledge can answer most questions to do with the history and manufacture of Wheatstone and Lachenal instruments.

In addition to the bi-monthly meetings at Ruishton, WCCP runs two residential weekends each year at Kilve Court, which feature tuition for beginners, improvers and advanced players. These weekends feature, beside the workshops a lively social scene of dance, concerts and bar sessions. WCCP also runs workshops at the Sidmouth and Weymouth Folk Festivals. Constructive workshops are the key to all events and all abilities are welcome, especially absolute beginners.
