‘14 年前’ – Caister 音乐节进入新时代by Rob Howard |
 由Malcolm Gee 组织的年度秋季手风琴音乐节于1986年首次在Norfolk的Caister举行. 1997年2月Malcolm Gee 出人意料的过世了, 音乐节的前途突然成疑. 幸运地是, Caister手风琴音乐节被营救，Robert 和 Loreta Rolston 担当起组织者的重任, 下面的Gary Blair 的报道出现在1997年11月28日的环球手风琴新闻中. 这一音乐节于上周在距离在Caister的原起源地仅两英里远的Seacroft举行, 组织者是Heather Smith. CAISTER ACCORDION FESTIVAL - ENGLAND Contributed by Gary Blair The Caister Accordion Festival was held from November 13th to 16th and organised by the Accordion Times & News, England. The Opening Night concert (Thursday 13th) was an accordion club type night with the accordionists performing if they so wished. Pino di Modugno from Italy was asked to play as a taster for Saturday night. He was absolutely dynamite!!! His programme started off with ‘Dizzy Fingers’ (at a tempo I would have thought impossible!) followed by a couple of other well known tunes. Friday's concert started with The Weaver Valley Band, followed by a great duo called Amarylis and Gary Blair's band. After an Interval, we were privileged to hear Julie Best and Ron Hodgson, followed by Pat Gray from Aberdeen playing a variety of music. Then the Star of Friday's concert, Magnus Johnnsson (only 19 years old and won the Frosini Grand Prix which had 6,000 competitors!!) performed. His programme included a lot of Frosini's works, and he played brilliantly. Saturday's concert was also superb with the Ronmar Accordion Orchestra, Harry Hussey and his brilliant Jazz Band, and a solo spot from Julie Best. Then it was the star of the show again, Pino di Modugno who was now playing on MIDI accordion. He started off with a Strauss medley then played 'Uridium’,' by Astor Piazzola (this was unbelievable!). He then totally blew my mind by performing ‘Bumble Bee Boogie’ as good as anyone I have heard. My Band then finished off with a ceilidh and the highlight for me was playing 'The Flying Scotsman' with TWO drummers! |
