 ‘Accordions International 2011’, at Seacroft Holiday Village, Hemsby, Norfolk, November 11th to 14th proved to be a resounding success, with concerts and workshops all well supported, and a happy atmosphere prevailing throughout the weekend.The music heard in the concerts was wide ranging, including the varied programs of Pearl Fawcett-Adriano, Rosemary Wright, Roy Hendrie, and David Price, the mainly tango and Italian repertoire of Italian duo Cristiano Lui (accordion and bandoneon) and Stefano Ciotola (guitar - photo above), the classical and avant garde styles of solo stars Ksenija Sidorova (Latvia) and Martynas Levickis (Lithuania), the jazz of Jack Emblow & Tony Compton, and the Scottish music of Wayne Robertson. The ever dependable Harry Hussey entertained at mealtimes and at his late night jazz sessions in the bar, and Wayne Robertson played for Scottish dancing following the evening concerts each night. During the day there were various orchestral workshops, ‘meet the artist’ concerts, and a talk by Professor Owen Murray about the Royal Academy of Music. The trade show included a new accordion brand, Diamond Accordions, presented by Greg Doyle, and the book launch of ‘Vintage Accordions' (picture left) by Rob Howard. Full book information in New and Updated sites below. The festival, organized by Heather Smith, next year, moves back to Pakefield, Suffolk, September 6th to 10th.
