Festival de Acordeon ‘"Nuits de Nacre’ en Tulle - France
Informacion a cargo de Anna BodellCharnwood Music

La 19ª edicion del festival ‘Nuits de Nacre’ (Noches de nacar) se celebrara durante los proximos dias del 13 al 16 de Septiembre en Tulle, Francia.

Se puede decir que desde su invencion el acordeon se integro en la musica de salon o musica de camara del siglo XIX adaptandose a los repertorios de la musica popular, al de los cantantes o a la enorme variedad de folklores. Tulle, situada en Auvergne, es en cierta manera el corazon del acordeon en Francia y estamos seguros que los acordeonistas traeran una extensa variedad de estos estilos al festival.

Con numerosos conciertos y actuaciones de mas de 40 solistas y grupos incluidos los de artistas internacionales como Marcel Azzola, Jerome Richard y su orquesta, La Orquesta nacional de Jazz o Cooperation, de Finlandia, el festival ofrece realmente una gran variedad y diversidad para todos los publicos en su oferta.

Los mas de 70 conciertos programados tendran lugar principalmente por la noche en carpas, escenarios al aire libre, el teatro municipal y en varios restaurantes y cafeterias del centro de Tulle.

Tambien se suelen concentrar numerosos grupos fuera de programa y de modo improvisado en las calles. El festival tiene lugar no muy lejos de la fabrica de acordeones “Maugein”.

Los grupos invitados este año son: AGGHIR, Amachao, Bad Blues Band, Blankass, Chantier chorégraphique, Christian Pierron, Christiane Courvoisier, Coopération Finlande, Délinquante, Duo Tras, Gérard Blanchard, Hugues Aufray, Jaal, Jean Corti, Kimmo Pohjonen, La belle vie, La Mainada, Le Band de Seilhac, Le Rancho, Les Becs Bien Zen, Les Maux de la Rue, Lés Revéilles, Manif des lames diatoniques, Mardigrâve, Michel Jonasz, Nino and Ninette, Orchestre Jerome Richard, Orchestre National de Jazz, Pusse, Saperlipopette, Scott Taylor, Targhi Nuschma, Tournée Générale, Trio Jacky Stéphane, Trio Vuelvo y Weepers Circus.

Celebracion del 150º Aniversario de Hohner - Alemania
Informacion a cargo de Harley Jones

Los actos del 150º Aniversario de Hohner supusieron un enorme exito segun los responsables de la fabrica habiendo contado con un importante respaldo y afluencia de importantes politicos en los actos centrales.

Ademas se pudo observar una gran afluencia de publico general en los actos programados, especialmente en el intento de record de reunir personas tocando la armonica. Finalmente se pudo batir dicho record con un nuevo registro de 3.300 armonicas sonando a la vez. Se pueden ver los reportajes diarios en la pagina web de Hohner.

IMAC Music Camp, Dolomites – Italy
Contributed by Holda Paoletti-Kampl

The 8th International Music Accordion Camp took place in a hotel near the town of Sauris di Sotto, in the Dolomites mountain range. This was a small paradise where vacation and music combined themselves wonderfully.

In this atmosphere, learning and practising the accordion under the guidance of Jean-Louis Noton, Mady and Peter Soave was not work, but a real pleasure. The facilities available included massages, sauna, tennis, hiking and IMAC week included concerts given Mady, Peter and Jean-Louis in the cities of Pordenone, Piancavallo and Sauris.

Also available to the teachers and students were Jean-Pierre Andréani (Professor in the region of Chambéry), Ralf Bethke (Professor in Germany), and of Denis Tini, Director of the Department of Music (Professor of Jazz, Harmony, orchestra directio) at the university of Detroit. The 90 students came from France, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Finland, Croatia, USA, and Canada. Those present enjoyed themselves so much they are already planning to return next year!

Contributed by Rob Howard

Leading jazz accordionist Harry Hussey was the guest at Stockport Accordion Club in the North west of England on September 12th, enthralling and amazing his audience with his improvisational skills.

His numbers included ‘Glenn Miller Medley’, ‘Tea for Two’, ‘Siboney’, ‘Autumn Leaves’, ‘Sway’, ‘Wave’, ‘Jealousy’, ‘Take Five’, Begin the Beguine’, and many more. He also did some unrehearsed duets with concertina player John Nixon, and these included ‘Fascinating Rhythm’, ‘As Time Goes By’, ‘Don’t Get Around Much Anymore’ and ‘How High the Moon’. Also performing were Rob Howard, Ann Parker, Ray Peacock, Martina Hall and John Higham. The evening also saw the book launch of ‘An A to Z of the Accordion, Volume 3’, which sold lots of copies on the night.

Big National Ceilidh – UK
Contributed by Rob Howard

The Big National Ceilidh, a unique nationwide event staged in aid of charity, takes place on Thursday October 18th. The Big National Ceilidh is a night when, in cities, towns and villages all over the country, thousands of people will simultaneously be dancing to the music of live bands.

Each event will be locally organised and distinctive, but two main elements will bind them together:
1) the proceeds from all the events will be given to a single, hugely worthwhile charity, WaterAid;
2) and  at 10pm all the bands will be playing the same tune (‘Jamie Allen’) and as many people as possible will be dancing ‘The Circassian Circle’.

A website www.bignationalceilidh.co.uk has been set up so that bands can register. Details of your ceilidh will then appear on the site, and you will soon be able to find out about other events taking place near you and across the country.

The website also includes more information about the event as a whole, on how to send your proceeds to WaterAid, and advice for running a successful evening. Further information, including suggestions and images for publicity materials, will be introduced in due course. There's already lots of interest in The Big National Ceilidh right across Britain. Make sure YOUR community is part of this fantastic night!
