Bill Wilkie’s Diamond Jubilee Festival, Perth – UKby Rob Howard |
 The 60th All Scotland Accordion & Fiddle Championships, organised by Bill Wilkie MBE, take place in Perth, Scotland, on October 31st. Competitions for the various accordion and fiddle sections begin at 9am in the concert hall and other local venues, and the contest for the All Scotland Senior Accordion Championship takes place during the evening. This year, to mark the diamond jubilee of this festival, there will be two grand variety concerts. The Saturday evening concert stars Pearl Fawcett-Adriano (left), plus a supporting cast that includes accordionists Jimmy Cassidy and Craig Paton. On Sunday afternoon, The Alexander Brothers will top a bill that also features accordionists Michael Philip and Alex McIntyre, and their Scottish dance bands. Both shows will feature the Bill Wilkie Accordion Orchestra, plus the Sandra Wright and Julie Young dancing teams. The All Scotland event is probably the longest running music festival anywhere in the world organised continuously by the same person. For further information email: wilkiesmusic@btconnect.com |
