Gorka Hermosa is Professor of Accordion at the Conservatorio de Santander, Spain. He was one of the earliest composer/accordionists to perform in Spain as a soloist with a symphony orchestra, and his compositions are performed by accordionists in many parts of the world. Gorka Hermosa compositions are available online free of charge by this very generous and highly talented composer. |

  Nicholas Smith, the actor who played the Grace Brothers department store manager Mr Cuthbert Rumbold in the popular BBC comedy ‘Are You Being Served?’, which aired from 1972 to 1985, has died aged 81. The show regularly had audiences of 20 million viewers, and became popular in many countries, especially the USA. In an interview with American chat show host Ed Sutkowski, Nicholas Smith described that ‘Are You Being Served?’ got its chance only because of the chaos caused by the terrorist attacks at the 1972 Munich Olympics. He said that the show had been recorded as a one-off for the BBC ‘Comedy Playhouse series’ but had not been shown because the BBC thought it "too trivial". But when the live Olympic feed had to be cancelled the BBC showed the episode, and "the public reaction was so enormous" the BBC commissioned a whole series, and the show went from success to success. Also a musician Nicholas Smith played the accordion, organ and piano, wrote music, was a trained singer, and was featured playing the accordion and the piano in episodes of ‘Are You Being Served?’. He played the accordion mainly for recreation, and especially enjoyed playing Swiss, Tyrolean and Austrian folk dance music. |

 ‘Judith Williams at the C.C.A.’ is a full length concert (148 minutes) by Scottish jazz singer Judith Williams recently released on DVD. Judith has a pleasant and engaging voice, and works her way through some of what is often called ‘The Great American Songbook’, accompanied throughout by the amazing Harry Hussey on accordion, the mellow clarinet sound of Dick Lee, and the subtle guitar of Paul Tracey and smooth double bass of Cameron Maxwell. Harry, Dick and Paul add in classy solo riffs here and there to enhance the songs. The style is that of ‘late night jazz’, and there is a large and young audience lapping it all up at the Centre for Contemporary Arts in Glasgow. The concert, filmed in black & white probably to give the show a retro 1940s look, was the first night of the Glasgow Jazz Festival, recorded on July 28th 2012. If ‘late night jazz’ is your thing, you will surely enjoy this collaboration. Tracks: Secret Love, East of the Sun, Moon River, You’ve changed, The shadow of your Smile, All of me, The man I love, Blue Skies, Quiet night of quiet stars, Bewitched, bothered and bewildered, My funny valentine, But beautiful, Close your eyes, All the things you are, The more I see you, After you’ve gone, I thought about you, My foolish heart, Time after time, Stardust The DVD ‘Judith Williams at the C.C.A.’ costs £10 + £1.50p, and is available from Harry Hussey.
