En el 2002 actuó en un concierto con la Orquesta Sinfónica en el Teatro Comunale de Bologna, interpretando fragmentos de las películas de Charlie Chaplin. El mismo año fu elegido para representar a Italia en el Campeonato del Mundo de Acordeón donde obtuvo el sexto puesto.

Muere Pamela Deakin, Birmingham - Reino Unido
Información por Rob Howard

LA profesora de Acordeón Pamela Deakin ha fallecido a la edad de 69 años a finales de noviembre tras una larga batalla contra el cáncer. Pamela Deakin, de Warley, Staffordshire, fue una de las acordeonistas más competitivas de los años 50, ganando tres veces el Campeonato de Toda-Bretaña además de otros muchos títulos.

Comenzó a estudiar el acordeón bajo la tutela del fallecido George Glay en 1950. Su progreso fue rápido y durante tres años fue campeona nacional ganando el Campeonato Amateur de Toda-Bretaña en 1953 y posteriormente en 1954. En 1955 Pamela obtuvo una meritoria octava plaza en la Coupe Mondiale de la CIA celebrada en Brighton. Su mayor éxito llegó en 1956 cuando ganó el Campeonato Virtuoso de Toda-Bretaña, aunque su segunda participación por el título mundial fue menos bien que la primera ya que acabó decimoquinta. Tras su competitiva carrera, Pamela Deakin se convirtió en una respetada y conocida profesora.

Jimmy Shand Memorial Concert, Fife - UK
Contributed by Rob Howard

The annual Jimmy Shand Memorial Concert takes place on January 29th, from 1.30 to 5pm, at St Andrew's Town Hall, Fife, Scotland. This popular event involves at least 26 guest accordionists, and all the music performed is either composed by Sir Jimmy Shand, or has been recorded by him. The concert will end with all the players in an ensemble, playing 'The Bluebell Polka', 'Whistling Rufus', The Six Twenty Two Step', and other numbers made famous by Jimmy Shand and his Band. All proceeds from the concert will be donated to Chas (a charity for terminally ill children) and Rymonth House, which caters for people with learning disabilities.

Sir Jimmy Shand (1908-2001), the only accordionist to date to receive a Knighthood by HM Queen Elizabeth, was a highly prolific recording artiste and composer, with a career that lasted over sixty years. His influence on Scottish music and dancing was profound, inspiring countless numbers of people to play and listen to accordions. In recent years, many Shand recordings have been issued on digitally remastered CDs, including material that covers the 1930s until recent times.
