Accordion Group Visit to Castelfidardo, Ancona - Italyby Rob Howard |
Picture above: Group playing Picture left: Editor Rob Howard and his wife Margery having fun playing the worlds largest accordion. This year’s accordion group visit to Castelfidardo, Italy, May 16th to 20th, expertly organised by London-based Peter Le Geyt, proved to be hugely enjoyable and educational for the party of 40 British, American and Canadian enthusiasts. Everything was planned to the last detail, enabling the group members to make the most of this annual accordion holiday. The party flew from London to Bologna, then by coach to our base at the Hotel Parco in Castelfidardo. The tour began with a group visit to the Accordion Museum, followed by dinner in the hotel, which included entertainment by members of the group on some loaned accordions. The following days involved visits to the Beltuna, Pigini, Scandalli, Bugari and Zero Sette factories to see at first hand all the stages of accordion manufacturing. Apart from seeing all the skills that go into producing accordions, these visits made one appreciate the complexity and also the value of accordions. There were also visits to the Victoria showroom, which included lots of photos taken with the two giant accordions, the Galassi Bellows and Binci reeds factories, and to the new and enlarged Carini spare parts showroom, where many purchases were made. Each evening was spent convivially in a different restaurant, and the loaned accordions went with us, played by group members including Sue Coppard, Newby Park, Brenda Webster, John Plumb, Peter Le Geyt, Alex Govier, Carlo Pesticcio, Tony Tucker, Rob Howard, and especially Bonnie Birch. Mario Campanale, a UK-based Italian piano tuner, sang many Italian songs. The visit ended all too soon, and the group members took home many happy memories.

Blackpool Accordion Festival 2017 Report, Lancashire – UKby John Romero, Carillon Music Festivals |
March 31st 2017 saw the start of the 2nd Carillon Studios Accordion Festival in the north of the UK. The Carousel Hotel, near the Pleasure Beach complex on the Blackpool seafront is the new annual home for this great accordion event. Blackpool has a bit of a reputation of being a little run down and perhaps not the most high class of seaside towns but this great boutique hotel venue however bucks this reputation and shows off how Blackpool is changing and moving a little more upmarket. As with most Carillon events Friday afternoon started off with check in, a complimentary tea/coffee and music from the inimitable Harry Hussey. This enabled guests to gently settle into their comfortable new surroundings. Fuller report at: 2017Blackpool |
