Button Boxes and Moothies
The University of Aberdeen's Elphinstone Institute will host Button Boxes and Moothies (26-28 October 2007), a unique celebration of small free-reed instruments, including mouth organs, concertinas, melodeons, diatonic button accordions, and Jews harps.
The Free Reed Convention will be just the place to enjoy the music of these instruments by some of the very best talents around, both local to Scotland and from further afield. It will be a great opportunity to find out more about the instruments and their music.
The weekend event will allow visitors to try a taster session, join an elementary workshop, or, if suitably experienced, learn about style and repertoire at a players workshop. There will also be several opportunities for informal sessions in local music-friendly pubs.

A travesty if ever there was one!
