‘14 Years Ago’: Coupe Mondiale all set for London in October 2001

2001 Coupe MondialeThe Accordions Worldwide news for the week ending September 14th 2001 included information about the impending CIA Coupe Mondiale, due to be held in London, UK, from October 24th to 28th. That autumn, all within a few weeks, there were four major accordion festivals in England: Bridlington and Pakefield, the Coupe Mondiale, and the London Accordion Festival – an unprecedented schedule unlikely to be repeated. This year’s Coupe Mondiale is set for Turku, Finland, October 6th to 11th.
