Заметка редактора

Rob Howard, Editor14 февраля 1997 на Accordions Worldwide появилась печальная новость о неожиданной смерти Малкольма Джи (Malcolm Gee) в возрасте 57 лет от инсульта. 

С середины 1970-х годов Малькольм Джи был неустанным пропагандистом аккордеона в Англии, а его инициативы, такие, как фестиваль аккордеона и его аккордеонный клуб Accordion Record Club стали стимулом для развития аккордеонной деятельности в Великобритании именно тогда, когда это было особенно необходимо.

Нам не хватает его. Его влияние во многих аккордеонных клубах и фестивалях, деятельность которых вдохновлена его личностью, живо и по сей день.

В сети появились правила категории Digital Accordion международного конкурса «Кубок мира» – Китай

Roland Coupe Mondiale Digital Accordion Competition banner
Prof. Li Cong and Assoc. Prof. Crystal WangКатегория исполнителей на цифровых инструментах Digital Accordion, спонсором которой является компания Roland, - одна из категорий международного конкура «Кубок мира 2011». Правила и условия этой категории можно посмотреть на сайте конкурса (Coupe Mondiale).

Мероприятие проводится в Шанхае, 2 октября по 6 2011 года, организованного Аккордеон Ассоциации китайских музыкантов ассоциации (ВГА) и Шанхайской ассоциации музыкантов, контакты профессор Ли Конг и доц (Prof. Li Cong). Проф Crystal Ван (Crystal Wang, фотографии справа).

Roland снова стал споносром этой категории в связи успешным проведением соревнований по этой категории в 2010 году, в ходе которого высокий уровень участников и радость публики оправдали решение CIA ввести эту категорию в конкурс в 2009 году.

В 2010 году участники этой категории продемонстрировали широчайший спектр стилей и жанров, а баллы жюри шли очень плотно друг к другу. Эта новая категория является многообещающей, и я уверен, в 2011 году большее количество стран включит категорию Digital Accordion в свои национальные отборы на «Кубок мира».

Организаторы «Кубка мира 2011» также предлагают очень выгодные условия проживания для участников и сопровождающих лиц. Полная информация появитс на сайте в ближайшее время. Заявки на участие в конкурсе будут приниматься с 1 мая по 20 августа 2011 года (Coupe Mondiale).

‘Accordion Uprising’ Blog, Vancouver – Canada

‘Accordion Uprising’ BlogBruce Triggs, from Vancouver, BC, Canada, has started up a regular accordion discussion blog at www.AccordionUprising.org 

He'll be posting mostly for a popular audience about the general squeezebox/free-reed family. He's working on a book on the topic, mostly about Anglo North-American squeezebox history. He's interested in why the accordion got left out of rock and roll (and the blues and most jazz), tracing that back through American popular music starting with the instrument's appearance in minstrel shows in the 1840s. 

The ‘Accordion Uprising’ will also cover music – "classical to punk rock" – from his Accordion Noir radio show.  Accordion Noir has been broadcasting for some four years, with old shows available on-line in case you've got a few hundred hours to spare.

‘14 Years Ago’ – Malcolm Gee (1940-97)

Malcolm GeeThis week 14 years ago Accordions Worldwide reported the breaking news of the death of Malcolm Gee, a unique figure in the accordion scene in Britain through his ‘Pied Piper’ lead, initiatives and drive. We may never see his like again!

CLUB ACCORD PRESIDENT PASSES AWAY - UNITED KINGDOM
Contributed by Tracey Middleton

Malcolm Gee, President and founder of Club Accord, passed away on Tuesday 11th February 1997 at Law Hospital in Lanark, Scotland. He had suffered a stroke whilst on holiday.

This has come as an enormous shock to all in the accordion world and he will be greatly missed. Malcolm founded Club Accord along with many other people almost exactly 21 years ago. Not long after starting Club Accord, he launched a club newsletter, which grew to become the Accordion News.

He started the National Autumn Accordion Festival which has found its home at Caister and attracts nearly 1000 accordionists each year. He toured Australia and New Zealand with Helen Kemp and spread the accordion movement around the globe. He then started the Summer Accordion Festival at St. Audries Bay and the Spring Accordion Camp by his pub, The New Inn, Pound Green Bewdley. He has promoted the accordion and supported accordion clubs tirelessly.

He threw himself into the accordion world whole heartedly. If it wasn't for Malcolm, the accordion "society" in the United Kingdom would not be as successful as it is today. We owe him a great deal.

Who knows what will happen to the Accordion "world" now that he has left us. I only hope that we will continue what he has started. We can not let all his ideas and enthusiasm die with him. Although Caister was almost entirely a "one man" organised event, I hope that a committee can be formed to continue it for years to come, as a tribute to Malcolm.

I also hope that Club Accord will continue to thrive and see new members, and artists, enjoy the friendly atmosphere of the club, and use the opportunity to meet fellow enthusiasts and to spread the word of the accordion as Malcolm would have wished. He leaves behind a lot of friends who will miss him greatly.
