 Monday May 23rd was a very pleasant sunny day thus creating a nice relaxing atmosphere for the evening concert with Jovan Rnjak. Jovan has been to our club before so we were familiar with his singing and playing and especially with his face as he always looks relaxed and smiling. The concert began with him singing a selection of popular songs that we were familiar with and able to join in. After the interval Ray Izod took to the stage and played a selection of what I call ‘Accordion Classics’ which went down very well with our members. We do not hear many of the classics these days but Ray enjoys playing them and has certainly improved on his repertoire since he retired from his job. I still miss the old days of the accordion when accordion music ruled and tunes such as ‘The Waltz of the Flowers’, ‘Entry of the Gladiators’ and the many Souza marches were performed on a regular basis. As announced, Jovan returned and began to play many of my favourites including ‘Czardas’ and ‘Dark Eyes’. He then changed to singing popular Tom Jones songs and finished with the old favourite sing-along tunes - Jovan is an excellent accordionist. Our club has decided to go ahead with a recruiting campaign to attract new members and hopefully some young members. A whole page in a local magazine plus inviting new members to join and to encourage them, Barry Smith has made an offer of free lessons and the loan of an accordion. The loan of an accordion also applies to members. The Black Country Accordion Club meets on alternate Mondays, 7.30pm, at The Rowley Regis Disability Centre in Rowley Regis, near Birmingham. Future dates include accordionist and comedian Alan Stott on June 27th, and the Kyiv Duo, on tour from the Ukraine, on July 25th. For further information email: lumicprod@aol.com |
