Loveless, Brian Peters, Andy Turner, John Watcham and many others are showcased to help you learn and develop your own unique style on this surprisingly versatile acoustic little squeezebox.Instead of including a CD with the book, most of the tunes can be found on the "anglotutor" playlist on YouTube where you can both see and hear them being played on a 30-button C/G Anglo concertina.
