 Los Angeles, CA, March 30, 2011 — Roland-USA is extremely saddened to announce the passing of Benigno “Benny” Layton, a valued member of its V-Accordion® team, in a tragic motorcycle accident near San Antonio, Texas. He was 60. Benny is survived by his wife Irma and his four children: Benny Jr., Paul, Armando, and Janice.A lifelong accordion player and music enthusiast, Benny came to work with Roland-USA in 2010 as a V-Accordion product specialist after a career of devoted public service in his local Texas communities of Edcouch and Elsa, where he was regarded among residents with their highest respect and admiration. In his community, Benny served as a music educator, a municipal court judge, and as president of the Edcouch-Elsa school board. Over the years, he taught hundreds of students, and his impact on their lives has been immeasurable. In 1990, Benny instituted a school conjunto music program in order to preserve and pass on the traditional music he grew up with. In 2000, this program became part of the annual Smithsonian Folklife Festival. Benny was also highly respected in Texas’ Tejano music community. In May of this year, he will be inducted into the Texas Conjunto Music Hall of Fame during the Tejano Conjunto Festival in San Antonio. “Benny was a fine musician, but even more, he was a great person,” said Chris Halon, Director of Product Management for Roland-USA. “He and his group were a highlight of our Roland-USA exhibit at the 2011 Winter NAMM Show. Benny was truly an amazing man and he will be so dearly missed.” The Layton family has asked for privacy during this difficult time. |

 The amazing unicycling accordionist Eric Dabrowski died on March 26th, at the age of 86, in Darwen, Lancashire. Click the link Eric Dabrowski for historic photos of Eric unicycling, performing and also for photos with all the family.Born in Poland in 1924, Eric Dabrowski was the son of a Professor of Music. When World War Two broke out in 1939 Eric was studying engineering in Germany. He escaped through France and Spain, across to North Africa in 1942 where he joined the Polish Commandos, attached to the British 8th Army, under General Montgomery. Eric took part in the invasion of Italy in 1943, including Monte Cassino in 1944. It was in Italy that Eric fell in love with the accordion. On visiting Loreto near Ancona, Eric was able to barter food, chocolate and cigarettes in exchange for his first accordion. When the war ended, Eric arrived in England, where he went to work in a factory in Yorkshire. In his spare time, he practised the accordion, juggling, and built a unicycle, combining these skills into a unique stage act. Hughie Green, later to be famous as presenter of TV’s ‘Opportunity Knocks’, spotted Eric’s talents and took him touring in his variety show. Eric married Thelma, a dancer, and they toured in variety shows as Eric D’Arcy & Diana. She learned to juggle, ride the unicycle, play xylophone and guitar. They were eventually joined by their daughter Pauline, an accordionist, and son Gregory, a drummer, and known as the D’Arcy Family. When theatres started closing down in the 1960s they moved on to the club circuit. These years also saw them appear on Hughie Green’s ‘Opportunity Knocks’ television show. In 1977 Eric took ill, dissolved the family act and retired from show business, which he had loved very much. Daughter Pauline Hardwick is nowadays an accordion and piano teacher, and a member of the North Staffs Accordion Club. Click the link Eric Dabrowski for historic photos. |

 Tony Mackenzie busked using his button box, voice and his giant heart, right up until the end. On March 16, battling liver cancer, the veteran charity worker grabbed his trusty accordion and headed down to the Mornington market, Victoria The 77-year-old played, sang and chatted with market patrons for about two hours before heading home, and passing away on 21 March. For a man who was very much a part of the Mornington market scene, it was a fitting end to a life well lived. Mr Mackenzie raised more than $100,000 for charities, particularly the Osteogenesis Imperfecta Foundation. He was keen to support children with brittle bones. He had a real affinity for children who were disadvantaged. In retirement, Tony Mackenzie played his accordion at the Red Hill, Mornington, Balnarring, Rosebud and Tootgarook markets to raise money for charities. In an interview with a local newspaper in 2007, Tony Mackenzie said his childhood experience of being raised in an orphanage motivated him to reach out to children in need. “I just want to help the little guys out. The people at the market are very kind to me and very generous to the kids,” he said. A service was held at Dromana’s Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church, where Mr MacKenzie regularly attended services on 25 March. |

| The Accordions Worldwide news for the week ending April 4th 1997 reported that Yuri and Ludmila Fedorov had toured France and Spain. The 1990s was the decade in which it became possible for artistes from Russia and other former USSR countries to freely tour internationally. This development has culturally enriched Western countries, and in the process has greatly benefited the accordion fraternity worldwide. YURI AND LUDMILA FEDOROV TOUR OF FRANCE AND SPAIN Contributed by Tatiana Lanchtchikova Yuri and Ludmila Fedorov recently spent a month in France during which they toured the provinces, giving many concerts that were all well received. While there, they were also invited by the Arts and Music association to perform five concerts in Madrid, Spain, from 25th to 29th March. Yuri Fedorov is an accordion soloist with the Kiev Philharmonic, a former soloist with the Red Army, and has won many competitions, including a Gold Medal at the 1986 Coupe Mondiale in Warsaw, a Laureat from Klingenthal (1994) and a first prize in the National Accordion Competition in Odessa, Ukraine, in 1981. He is a graduate of the Kiev Conservatory and currently a teacher there, along with his wife Ludmila. At 39 years old, Fedorov is part of the new generation of Russian performers. He is often accompanied by Ludmila, who is a soprano with the Kiev Philharmonic and sings and plays the bandoura, a beautiful 15th Century Ukrainian instrument. They play some classical melodies by Mozart, Caccini, Bach, Gonoud, but mostly play traditional Ukrainian and Russian music. Fresh, spontaneous and meticulous are words which have been used to describe the duo's performance, and they always leave their audience enchanted. |

| ‘The Accordionist’, co-written by and starring accordionist Romano Viazzani, opens at the New End Theatre, Hampstead, London NW3 1JD, on April 5th and runs until April 24th (Easter Sunday), with matinees at 3pm on 8th, 9th, 15th, 16th, 23rd, and 24th. Romano writes: “That's 7 performances per week for 3 weeks. That’s quite a lot of tickets to sell in that time period so please try to come and see it! Happily we got some excellent reviews in Exeter so I hope it will be worth seeing it. Here's a recap to whet your appetites. (Don't tell me what night you're coming on as being a bit new to acting it will only make me nervous!) I hope to see you all after the shows. Do cheer and clap enthusiastically during the show especially after every song and of course at my full-frontal nudity scene (only kidding, just checking to see that you're still concentrating!). ‘The Accordionist’ is the story of talented Piaf tribute act Jacqueline Lacroix (Bethany Jameson) who returns to performing after years of enforced silence. An unexpected encounter with an enigmatic accordionist (Romano Viazzani) brings a mysterious past to bear on the uncertain present. But what secrets do the two artists share? An intimate portrayal of love and loss, the unique sound of the accordion embodies both passion and pain in a highly-charged new text. The score features original arrangements of Piaf classics such as ‘Milord’, ‘La Foule’, and ‘Padam Pada,’ as well as new songs by Jameson and Viazzani. One of the songs is written by Karen Street. It’s a short show, 7pm to 8.10 pm, and you can make it a night out with a drink or a meal afterwards in Hampstead. Or you could see both the shows on that night. The second show is called ‘Double Bass’, about a double bass player, written by Philip Suskind”. Romano Viazzani has three CD's available online at his website Romano Viazzani including sound samples. For further information email: romanoviazzani@hotmail.co.uk |

"The atmosphere is lively and contagious and you can't help but sing along or tap your toes or get out on the dance floor.
