Richard Evans had many talents and passions, from motorbikes to music of many genres and styles. He excelled at them all but is perhaps best remembered for his ability to craft, repair and play concertinas. Richard readily shared his knowledge and wisdom and was a friend and mentor to many, myself included. John Harpley and I (Rob Willis) recorded Richard for The National Library of Australia in November 2003 and also made a video of him playing and describing various instruments and also talking about building and maintaining the concertina. We have edited this video from the raw footage and on camera audio which is not the best, we normally mix hi res audio in post. I will do this when time permits. Richard has gone but his legacy remains. Rob Willis
