MUCHOS DE LOS ACORDEONES ROBADOS DE KEN HOPKINS HAN SIDO RECUPERADOS. IRLANDA DEL NORTE - REINO UNIDOby Harley Jones |
 |
 En agosto de este año, 30 raros y valiosos acordeones, además de una autocarabana fueron robados de la casa del famoso acordeonista y coleccionista Ken Hopkins, quien vive en Comber, Condado de Down, Irlanda del Norte. Una búsqueda extensa campaña de publicidad y siguió.Nos complace informar que 12 de los acordeones acaban de ser recuperados por la policía en el condado de Meath, en la República de Irlanda, después de un chivatazo. Los acordeones se habían dejado por un corto periodo de tiempo en un campo, ocultos bajo una lona. Algunos están ligeramente dañados. La policía cree que haya podido ser una banda organizada de Dublín. La noticia de la recuperación fue cubierta por RTE TV, TV BBC, y emisiones de noticias en la televisión de Ulster, varias emisoras de radio y los periódicos, y la mayoría presenta entrevistas con un muy aliviado y feliz Ken Hopkins. Una buen número de los acordeones de la colección Ken Hopkins se pueden ver en el libro "Vintage Accordions", una historia ilustrada del acordeón con más de 300 fotografías en color de todos los tipos de acordeones, además de texto y artículos escritos por Rob Howard.

 Review: This is both a tutor book and a teachers manual, author being the famous French accordion teacher Jacques Mornet. It combines color, excellent graphics with full video support. On the Jacques Mornet website, you can read in French and English the (non) method basis of his teaching successes by this master teacher of accordion who has had so many international competition successes. The features of the book are: - For buttons or piano keyboard, B and C systems, bayan etc.; - Equally applicable for both acoustic accordion or digital accordion; - Full video support: 2 DVD video with 4 hours 20 mins of video with subtitles in English, Italian, Dutch, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, German and Spanish; - 84 pages, color print, superb easy to follow pictures / graphics; - Jacques Mornet has developed a teaching technique, inspired by the wind instruments (especially saxophone) that is innovative and focuses in detail on so many important factors of accordion performance ie: pre-tension, bellows and air compression, legato, rapid technique, touch etc etc.. The price of €49 (or US$ equivalent) might seem a lot until you appreciate there are 84 color pages with full video support (4 hours 20 mins of video) and a lifetime of expert teaching knowledge and ideas. This is a MUST HAVE book for every teacher of accordion. Available online at: Jacques Mornet |

| ‘Run For Your Wife’ is a UK-made 2012 comedy film, based on the theatre farce ‘Run For Your Wife’, written and directed by Ray Cooney, and starring Danny Dyer, Denise Van Outen, and Sarah Harding. The plot involves London cab driver John Smith, with two wives, two lives and a very precise schedule for juggling them both. Trouble brews when Smith is mugged and ends up in hospital, where both of his addresses surface, causing the police from two stations to investigate. Smith becomes hopelessly entangled in his attempts to explain himself to his wives and two suspicious police officers. The accordion factor? Over 80 celebrities, including Rolf Harris, make cameo appearances, donating their fees to a theatrical charity. Rolf Harris is a busker, seen playing a 1920s Casali piano accordion (rebuilt and tuned by Alan Young), loaned by The Accordion Shop, Sunningdale, Berkshire. ‘Run For Your Wife’ is released in cinemas in the UK on February 14th 2013. |

 The Accordions Worldwide news for December 18th 1998 included a report of a Danish accordion band’s Christmas CD release. Although Denmark is a country where we know that the accordion is popular and also studied at conservatory level, surprisingly little news reaches Accordions Worldwide about accordion events there. It would be good to have more news.CHRISTMAS CD RELEASE - DENMARK Contributed by Arne Morsing Danish group ‘Thisted Accordion Band’ has recently released a CD of Christmas songs. The CD includes well known songs such as Jingle Bells, Let it Snow, Santa Claus is Coming to Town, Feliz Navidad, I saw Mama kissing Santa Claus and Winter Wonderland. The Thisted Accordion Band comprises eleven accordionists, drums, bass, guitar and banjo.They perform concerts in Denmark and recently appeared on Danish television for the first time. They have released two CDs so far and plan to release a third in 1999. |
