Internationally acknowledged as master of the English Concertina, Alistair Anderson features in a unique concert at Conway Hall
As a touring soloist, with no less than 37 tours of the USA, 5 trips to Australia and countless European tours to his credit, Alistair Anderson is internationally acknowledged as the master of the English Concertina and a fine exponent of the Northumbrian PipesHe delights audiences with traditional music from Northumberland and beyond, as well as his own music, which has grown out of his love of these traditions
Anderson's passionate belief that traditional music had an important place in contemporary society led him to find ways to excite a new generation of young musicians and draw them into playing, singing, dancing and making the tradition their own
"He is a treat to watch..His involvement and delight in the music are infectious..Beautiful music, played with skill, taste and affection."
