 The Lars Ek Hot Trio, from Sweden, return to England after a long absence as guests at ‘Accordions International 2008’, Seacroft Holiday Village, November 14th to 17th 2008. Lars Ek will also lead master classes on the music of Pietro Frosini at the festival.In November 1986 The Lars Ek Hot Trio appeared at the Caister Accordion Festival, sharing top billing with Norway’s Toralf Tollefsen. Their lively and engaging performance of music by Frosini, Pietro and Guido Deiro, Scandinavian traditional music and jazz made a huge impression on their audience. At one point during this concert, Tollefsen went on stage to personally congratulate Lars Ek for his performance, announcing to the audience: “I am very grateful to Lars Ek for performing and promoting the music of Frosini, and ensuring that it is heard by the audiences of today.” Seacroft is a compact site, situated just 3 miles from last year’s venue at Caister, offering excellent facilities. The other guests appearing at Seacroft are Pino Di Modugno (Italy), Giancarlo Caporilli (Italy), and British artistes Stefan Andrusyschyn & Denise Leigh, Harry Hussey, Bert Santilly, and local accordion sextet Norvic Concordia (MD Peter Ayers). The festival offers workshops led by Brian Jenkins, Peter Whiteley, Heather Smith, Adrienne Sharpe, Jean Hanger, Bert Santilly and John Trigg, plus a trade show. ‘Accordions International 2008’ continues a long tradition of autumn accordion festivals in East Anglia, founded by the late Malcolm Gee, now organised by Heather Smith.
