Accordion Orchestra Day, Cambridge – UK

Cambridge Accordion Day
Nigel PasbyThe Cambridge Accordion Club contributed the following report: What a great Orchestra Day we had on Sunday! A wonderful new venue, Stapleford Granary, Cambridge, with our effervescent and extremely hard-working MD Nigel Pasby.

Big thanks to Nigel, Helen and Matthew, to Susanna Brooking for organising this day for the Cambridge Accordion Club, and to everyone who came along to play and help on the day.

Nigel brought us four of his excellent orchestral arrangements; John Lennon’s ‘Woman’, ‘Whiter Shade of Pale’ by Justin Hayward, Sam Smith’s ‘Writing’s On The Wall’, and the theme from ‘A Summer Place’ by Max Steiner (originally arranged by his father, Cyril Pasby and revised by Nigel). We had had lots of delicious home-made cakes and cookies and a lot of chat, interspersed with a few band rehearsals, followed by a concert, to show what we had achieved in one busy day (an amazing orchestral sound!). Nigel and Helen then entertained us with some of their duet arrangements and we all went home, tired and smiling! Thankfully the snow had almost disappeared. So lovely to see everyone. Thank you all for coming.

Looking forward to seeing you all again next year!
