[2] Lewis Tester was born in Chelwood Gate, near Horsted Keynes, Sussex, England.
He spent most of life in the area north of Brighton, playing Anglo concertina, bandoneon, melodeon and fiddle.
He danced and played at weddings, harvest suppers and pubs with his elder brother and other local musicians.
There would be contests for dancing in the hop fields, including gypsy dancers, and he generally won the prize - a gallon of beer.
[2] Soon he was brought to the headquarters of the English Folk Dance and Song Society at Cecil Sharp House in London.
Hall ran a folk club at The Fox in Islington, London, and frequently invited Tester to play there.
