Angus Accordion & Fiddle Festival, Scotland - UKby Rob Howard |
The Angus Accordion & Fiddle Festival 2008, a weekend of Scottish music and dancing, took place on July 4th, 5th and 6th at venues in Arbroath: the British Legion, Viewfield Hotel, Meadowbank Inn and Community Centre. This non-competitive festival includes concerts and pub sessions, but the focus is on dancing and dance bands. Performing this year were the bands led by accordionists Marian Anderson, Steven Carcary, Neil Hardie, Iain MacPhail, Tom Orr (picture above left), Craig Paton, George Rennie, Davie Stewart, Liam Stewart, and Gary Sutherland. Other accordionists performing included the Bon Accords, Lynne Christie and Jim Halcrow. A DVD and CD of the weekend’s music will be released in October.
