  ‘Accordions International 2012’, organized by Heather Smith and held last weekend at Mundeseley Holiday Village, Norfolk, proved to be a jamboree of great accordion sounds.The concerts were all splendid affairs. Giancarlo Caporilli (Italy, picture top-left), performing acoustically, played Monti’s ‘Czardas’ and other classics plus much Italian musette music and some of his own compositions with great style. Pearl Fawcett-Adriano (picture middle-left) performed pieces from her new CD, such as ‘Granada’, ‘Hejre Kati’, ‘Sleepy Blues’, ‘Lambeth Polka’, ‘Ciribiribin’, and a ‘Carmen’ suite. There were strong supporting spots by Harry Hussey (picture top-right), David Price, Rosemary Wright (picture lower-right), Bert Santilly, Alan Young (picture lower-left), Sue Coppard, and The Clarinet Connection. The local accordion quintet Norvic Concordia (MD Peter Ayers) performed a fine pre-dinner concert in their own highly tasteful style. Alan Young – piano and vocals, Harry Hussey on accordion, and Geoff Cook on tenor sax played for dancing in a jazzy style, and Roy Hendrie played for Scottish dancing. Other features of the festival were workshops and a trade show. The final concert included performances by the various orchestral workshops, more spots by some of the guests, and ‘Auld Lang Syne’, played by Roy Hendrie. Next year’s festival is set for October 7th to 11th 2013. |

 The Accordions Worldwide news for October 16th 1998 included a request from Riza Arshad, who was trying to find other accordionists in Indonesia. We hope he was successful. We know that Riza Arshad is very active today with concerts and recording, which is good to report. It would be great to know about the accordion activity that there is in Indonesia today.ACCORDIONIST SEEKS OTHERS - INDONESIA Jakarta accordionist Riza Arshad, would like to contact other accordionists in Indonesia. Riza enjoys writing and composing music and plays in a jazz band that is currently working on their 2nd album. Performances are planned to coincide with the album release. The accordion is popular amongst traditional players especially in the Sumatra area, so Riza has future plans to make a record together with guitar and bass and believes there must be other young players that enjoy the accordion also. |
