 Leyland Accordion Club’s November guest artist was the amazing Harry Hussey. Harry started the evening playing ‘Wheels’, ‘12th Street Rag’, ‘Come to the Cabaret’, ‘Sunday Monday and Always’, and ‘Blue Tango’. The audience requests continued with ‘Play to me Gypsy’, ‘Whistling Rufus’, ‘Stardust’, ‘Fascination’, ‘A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square’, ‘Alexander’s Rag Time Band’, ‘Black and White Rag’, ‘Tangerine’, ‘Chattanooga Choo Choo’, and ‘Brazil’. A request for World War 2 songs was rewarded with ‘Who do you think you are kidding Mr Hitler?’, ‘Kiss Me Goodnight Sgt Major’, ‘Siegfried Line’, ‘Dambusters’, and ‘Blaze Away’. Harry then continued with ‘The Bluebell Polka’, ‘Midnight in Moscow’, ‘Whispering’, ‘Take Five’, ‘Red Sails in the Sunset’, ‘Amarillo’, and ‘Copa Cobana’ (which was not the Barry Manilow version). The music continued with ‘Just You Just Me’, ‘Stormy Weather’, ‘C'est Si Bon’, and ‘Muskrat Ramble’. It was now time for the break and plenty of chat. After the break our first local player of the night was Ann Parker playing ‘Memories Are Made Of This’ and ‘Frog Chorus’. Sara Daly played a tune I missed the title of, and I sat down to play ‘Black Mask Waltz’ and was joined by Harry. After I left the stage Harry started the second half with ‘Dark Island’ and ‘If You Knew Susie’. The audience was now getting used to requesting tunes and continued calling out titles for Harry to play. The next request was for a Glenn Miller Medley. Harry then played ‘Don't Sit Under The Apple Tree’, ‘Skylark’, ‘Autumn Leaves’, ‘O Sole Mio’, ‘Laura’, and ‘As Time Goes By’. The requests then continued with ‘Les Bicycettes de Belsize’, ‘Sailing By’, ‘Chicago’, ‘Liberty Bell’, ‘The Harry Lime Theme’, ‘All of Me’, ‘Teddy Bear's Picnic’, ‘Under Paris Skies’, ‘Calling All Workers’, ‘Arriverderci Roma’, ‘La Cumparsita’, ‘Hear My Song Violetta’, ‘La Mer’, ‘Charmaine’, ‘Under the Bridges of Paris’, ‘Pigalle’, ‘Baby Face’, ‘Wish Me Luck’, ‘There'll Always be an England’, and ‘Now Is The Hour’. If you decided to stay in and miss this concert then you really missed out. We had heard 60 tunes from Harry who had played for 75 minutes in the first half and 60 minutes in the second half. Thanks have to go to Harry for such a great night of music and we look forward to booking him again in 2014?. |
