| The Accordions Worldwide news for May 29th 1988 included an item about a concert of Beatles music in Canada, performed by accordionist Domenic Amatucci. Amatucci, still active today, is renowned for his love of Beatles tunes, and has performed and recorded much of the Fab Four’s repertoire. Although some people attribute the decline in the accordion’s popularity in the 1960s to the rise of the Beatles, it should be noted that John Lennon played the accordion in his early years, and Sir Paul McCartney usually features an accordionist in his backing band. ACCORDION BEATLES CONCERT - CANADA Contributed by Domenic "the Accordion Beatles guy" Amatucci On June 3rd Domenic Amatucci will perform an accordion Beatles concert at the Safari Bar Grill & Billiards, Toronto, at 7.30pm. He will play a variety of Beatles songs from Please Please Me to Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, as well as zydeco, rock, blues, jazz, pop, tangos, musette, latino, waltzes and polkas. The Internet Life magazine "Yahoo" included an item recently on Domenic, and his Accordion Beatles page was featured in Yahoo's Pick of the Week. Domenic has been performing Beatles hits in Toronto subways since October 1997. He recently attended the Canadian Music Week and took part in an interview of Sir George Martin.
