 Auckland accordionist Tracey Collins recently completed a very successful tour of Ryman’s Retirement Villages in the Bay of Plenty. Tracey entertained in Tauranga, Gisborne, Napier and Havelock North, performing four fully booked concerts.During these concerts she has met many accordion players and enthusiasts who commented on the versatility of the instrument. As we are not able to travel overseas currently (due to the Covid-19 pandemic), Tracey says the intention of her concerts is to transport her audience back to a time where they travelled to Paris, Italy or some other place in the world and hopefully bring back some lovely memories. “During my concerts, we travel to France, Italy, Ireland, Scotland and many more wonderful places”. Tracey also talks to her audience about the many memories she has regarding starting the accordion and experiences she has had throughout her career. Her concert at the Kiri Te Kanawa Village in Gisborne was very special as they had not had any entertainment for over 6 months. She had the biggest audience yet on this tour with 170 attending. It was well received. Princess Alexandra Village in Napier was also very heart warming as Tracey Collins met 92 year old Harry (pictured above left). He was a new resident and was overjoyed to hear Tracey was coming to perform as he also played the accordion. Final North Island concerts will be held in Auckland as follows: Monday 17th May: Ryman Bruce Mclaren in Dannemora at 10am Ryman Logan Campbell in Greenlane at 2pm Tuesday 18th May: Ryman Miriam Corban in Henderson at 2pm Wednesday 19th May: Ryman Keith Park in Hobsonville at 10am Ryman Evelyn Paige in Orewa at 2pm Thursday 20th May: Ryman Possum Bourne in Pukekohe at 11am For details email: tracey@traceycollins.co.nz |
