 The second Amours d’Accordéons Festival was held from May 2nd to 4th in Saint Quentin la Poterie, and was again a great success. This was an occasion for all accordion enthusiasts, amateurs or professionals, to meet and to discover the multiple facets of the instrument: musette, jazz, folk, French traditional and contemporary song... a wide range of music in various places in the village. Master classes conducted by Jérémie Buirette, François Heim and Christophe Rohr, and music from artistes such as François Heim and the Holy Family, Christophe Rohr, the groups Gattaka, Portelli, les Mauvais Garconsthe (Anthony Doux, Frank Gétreau), Crabr' can et enfin, and Tony Calvès and Jérémie Buirette (godfather of the festival). An open air ball closed this magnificent event for the great joy of the audience. At various trade shows one could get acquainted with musical instruments and one could try out all different techniques and sounds of the accordion as well as meeting the various professionals (musicians, professors, specialists in the instrument). Jean-Louis Noton presented the range of Cavagnolo accordions in co-operation with Festival Music Dampierre of Avignon. An event rich with emotion, where one could hear constantly and anywhere accordion music from a wide range of players. |
