Stockport Accordion Club’s Anniversaries Concert, Cheshire - UK

Stockport Accordion ClubStockport Accordion Club's 30th & 80th Anniversary Concert takes place next week on Wednesday October 18th, 7.30pm, at Woodley Methodist Church, Chapel St, Woodley, Stockport, Cheshire SK6 1NF. Admission is £5. All are welcome.

The first Stockport AC was formed in 1937, disbanded during WW2, reformed in 1948 and disbanded again in 1953.
