Gwenda Wilkin（1933-2020），伦敦 – 英国by Rob Howard |
 Gwenda Wilkin 是战后英国最好的手风琴家之一，也是该乐器的真实人物之一。 从1950年到1980年代初期，她的事业促使她前往到了世界各地，其中包括1956年她在德国，奥地利，意大利，缅甸，塞浦路斯和埃及等地为许多武装部队进行巡回演唱会，而在当时，苏伊士危机也发生了。Gwenda 在伦敦沃尔瑟姆斯托（Walthamstow）的乔治莫诺克斯文法爵士学校接受教育，当女校长在电视上观看她在音乐比赛中的表演时，她才被学习开除，而开除原因是学校方面称这是“年轻女性的不雅行为”！ Gwenda studied the accordion in London with Adrian Dante, and also was a highly proficient pianist and violinist. In 1948 she became BAA British Junior Champion at the British Association of Accordionists Championships held at St Pancras Town Hall in London. At short notice, due to the sudden withdrawal of the British entry, she entered the 1949 CIA Coupe Mondiale in Belgium, achieving sixth place. The following year Gwenda came third in the 1950 Couple Mondiale held in Milan, after which she turned professional. She performed on ‘Opportunity Knocks’ on Radio Luxembourg, on television, and many times on the BBC Light Programme, on such shows as ‘Workers Playtime’, ‘Accordion’, and ‘Music While You Work’. She worked frequently with the singers Gracie Fields and Vera Lynn, and many other stars of show business. By the 1980s Gwenda had grown tired of performing, and had a career change when she studied animal husbandry and worked in a veterinary practice. In 1993 she obtained a pilot’s licence, and then learned to fly a helicopter. Gwenda Wilkin was widowed, had a son and daughter, and passed away on May 6th at the age of 86 in hospital following complications during surgery. |
