 One of the UK’s favourite accordion players, Harry Hussey, became unwell last week. After consulting with his GP he promptly drove himself to hospital and an operation was performed later that evening. We can report that Harry is now sitting up in bed (asking for his accordion) and feeling much better with the world. His operation does mean that he will not be able to perform at next week’s Eastbourne Accordion Festival and all further gigs over the next few weeks have been cancelled whilst he is recuperating. It is hoped that he will be back on his feet for the Blackpool Accordion Festival in early March. Harry Hussey (born 1929) has long been one of Britain’s busiest and most popular accordionists, well known for his spontaneous jazz performances at accordion clubs and festivals. His hugely successful musical career has seen Harry playing for and alongside some of the biggest names in show business including George Chisholm, Matt Monro, Alan Littlejohn (who once introduced Harry by saying “Here is a man on the squeezebox & wireless set” referring to his amplifier), Norman Wisdom, Jack Emblow, Frank Marocco, Rolf Harris, and Anthony Newley. |
