 The Accordions Worldwide news for the week ending October 1st 1999 included a report from Finland about a forthcoming large scale cruise for accordionists. Such a cruise must have been nirvana for those on board this ship. Cruises for accordionists have nowadays become more commonplace, sailing happily and musically around the Arctic regions, and in the warmer climates of the Caribbean and Mediterranean. The Finnish cruise has maintained its huge popularity and is still being held annually on the largest ship of the region. Great Accordion Cruise - Finland Contributed by Kimmo Mattila (pictured) The Finnish Accordion Association have organized a ‘Great Accordion Cruise’ on March 5th and 6th 2000. The biggest car ship in the world ‘Silja Europa’ has been booked and over 2,500 accordion lovers and players are expected to attend. The ship will leave Turku, Finland on Sunday evening and sail to Stockholm, Sweden, returning on Monday evening March 6th. The cruise will include the semifinal of ‘The Golden Accordion’ competition, (the Finnish national accordion competition for entertainment music) as well as instrument exhibitions and many accordion entertainers. |
