  The prestigious Coupe Mondiale event is being hosted for the first time in Scotland from October 21st - 26th 2008 will include an array of concerts and festival events.Orchestral Performances including the Colchester Accordion Orchestra MD Elaine Beecham (CIA Honored Friend of the Accordion in 2007), The Graham Laurie Paisley Accordion Orchestra, The Dutch Accordion Project Orchestra (NOVAM) and The Brian Laurie Academy Orchestra will all be featured and these orchestras will also participate in the CIA World Accordion Orchestra II. Also featured will be Scottish Traditional Dance Troops, Scottish pipe bands plus Gary Blair and his Celidh Band on the Saturday night spectacular. Certainly, no Scottish accordion event could be complete without Celidh dancing and Gary Blair. The official hotel, the Normandy is now almost full with guests coming from all over the world, so the host organization NAO, has organized the nearby sister hotel Erskine Bridge to offer the same attractive prices plus a free shuttle bus service to the event for all accordion guests. A limited number of rooms are reserved for contestants who are urged to enter promptly when online entries open in mid July.
