Stockport Akkordeon Band Fund Raising Konzert, Cheshire - UKby Harley Jones |
 |
| Die Akkordeonisten aus der Stockport Gegend haben eine stolze Geschichte an Fundraising-Konzerten, die im Laufe der Jahre eine große Summe an Geld für wohltätige Zwecke gesammelt haben. John Jones wurde im Januar 2012 mit dem MBE Honours List für seine Dienstleistungen zur Nächstenliebe ausgezeichnet, nachdem er für verschiedene Wohltätigkeitsorganisationen mit seinem Akkordeonspiel über £ 200.000 zusammengesammelt hat. Beachten Sie bitte auf dem Bild, dass unsere Nachrichtenredakteur und Autor Rob Howard als erstes Akkordeon abgebildet ist. Auch Rob hat für zahlreiche Fundraising-Konzerte über die Jahre hindurch gespielt. Diese Tradition setzte sich auch am Freitag, 6. Juni fort, als die Stockport Akkordeon Club Band (MD Derek Stubbs) ein Konzert in der United Reform Church in Macclesfield gab, um eine Spendenaktion für Reparaturen Kirchengebäude zu unterstützen. Es gab auch einige exzellente Solos vom Bandmitglied Helen Reiche und Club-Vizepräsident Walter Perrie, plus einige improvisierte Duette. Mike Davies und Wally McKenzie (Cousin vom Stockport AC Spätvizepräsidenten John Nixon), zwei langjährige Stockport AC Anhänger konnten dem Konzert aus einem guten Grund leider nicht beiwohnen, da beide D-Day-Veteranen sind und in der Normandie für die offiziellen Gedenkveranstaltungen abberufen wurden.

 The Accordions Worldwide news for the week ending June 16th 2000 included two articles from Japan. The first was about Irish music and second about French music, demonstrating how national musical genres can travel to literally the other side of the world and be adopted elsewhere. The world is becoming a smaller place! ‘Viva-Accordion’ and ‘Chanson Evening’ – Japan Contributed by Toru Katou The annual ‘Viva-Accordion’ concert was held in Matsubara, Osaka Prefecture recently. Over 190 accordionists joined together to play Irish traditional dance tunes (danced by Jack and Rose in the movie ‘Titanic’) such as The Blarney Pilgrim, John Ryan's Polka, Kesh Jig and Drowsie Maggie. Guest performers were Tex-Mex band ‘Conjunt-J’, featuring diatonic accordionist Kenji Katsube. This event, organized by the All-Kansai Accordion Association (AAA) is one of the largest accordion events in Western Japan. On June 7th French accordionist Patrick Nugier and Tetsuya Kuwayama (Japan) performed at a ‘Chanson Evening’ at Astel Plaza, Hiroshima, organized by the Japan-France Association. Patrick played and sang (both in French and Japanese) a variety of pieces including Sous Le Ciel de Paris, My Way, Love is Blue, Vie Violence, and Tango Pour Claude (instrumental). Patrick has been living in Japan for over ten years and plays the accordion on commercial television broadcasts. |
