Synopsis
Product Description
(2-CD set) Scan Tester, 1887 - 1972, was the best known concertina player around the folk scene in the 1960s and early 70s, playing in a traditional style that might have been lost if not for him. Lewis 'Scan' Tester was born in 1887 to a musical family. He was something of a prodigy playing from the age of 8 at all sorts of social functions where music was required, including pubs. Although famous in his local Sussex, it wasn't until he was in his 70s that he became known and loved by a public beyond his own place and time. A labour of love, the 55 tracks on this double CD open a window to Britain's musical past and are a fitting tribute to one of the greatest traditional musicians England has produced.
