 Stockport Accordion Club’s Club Night concert on October 18th featured the talents of our playing membership and was a great success. The concert celebrated 30 years since Stockport AC was revived in 1987, and 80 years since the original club was formed in 1937.Thanks to all who played their hearts out and also to those who did the behind the scenes stuff (Joan Campbell i/c door admissions, Sue Wynroe i/c raffle tickets, Adrienne i/c playing order organisation and raffle prizes, Betty Molloy i/c the kitchen). We had a full and varied programme that went down very well with our audience. It was great to see our former Musical Director Brian Jenkins, plus Anita Basic, Anna Leskela and Pete Jebb from the Bradford Accordion Band visiting us, and I hope they enjoyed the evening. It was also great see Martina Hall, who played in the club’s band in the 1980s/90s, in the audience. The programme featured: - Rob Howard – Oliver Selection: Consider yourself/Food/Got to pick a pocket or two/I’d do anything/Be back soon/Oompah-pah/As long as he needs me/Who will buy?/Reviewing the situation; SAC Band – Liberty Bell, Amapola, My Way; - Dorothy Brincat – Scottish Waltzes; Accordion Spice – Harmonica, Amazing Grace, Katyusha; - Adrienne Sharpe/John Curvis – Scottish Reels; - Chris Green/Helen Rich – Frances MacDonald, Ashokan Farewell; - Helen Rich - Trieste Overture, Bourrasque, All Hands For'ard; Interval – entertainment by John Jones MBE; - Pearl Fawcett-Adriano – Comedian’s Gallop, Mariana, Quick Silver, Happy Birthday - a hilarious spot of fun played as a cha-cha/waltz/funeral march/Argentine tango/tarantella; - - Dennis Pepler – Gourmand Polka; - Chris Green/Betty Molloy – Unity March, Granada; - Scottish Quartet - Set 1: (Reels) Mairi's Wedding/Wish We Were Married/Happy We've Been Together, Set2: (Strathspeys) Orange and Blue/Loudon’s Bonnie Woods, Set 3: (Polka) I Have A Bonnet Trimmed With Blue, Set 4 (Gay Gordons Marches) Scotland the Brave /100,000 Welcomes/Thistle of Scotland; - SAC Band – Wien bleibt Wien, Simple Gifts, Las Chiapanecas. ‘Stockport Accordion Club through the years’, a fully illustrated book telling the club’s history going back to the 1930s, had its launch at the concert.
