 The Accordions Worldwide news for the week ending November 23rd 2001 included an article about the first Bridlington Accordion Festival, held in Yorkshire. This event replaced a series of annual festivals at Caister in Norfolk, which began in 1986 thanks to the vision of Malcolm Gee (1939-97). Loreta Rolston, who took over organizing these festivals following the sad and untimely death of Malcolm Gee, moved Caister to Bridlington, as it were, in 2001. First Bridlington Festival – England Contributed by Holda Paoletti-Kampl The first Bridlington Accordion Festival, organized by Loreta Rolston, held at the Spa Bridlington from November 8th to 11th, was an outstanding success. Over 500 people attended a variety of concerts and workshops that were available for all grades of players. A ‘feast’ of players from all over the world entertained including Gervasio Marcosignori and Daniele Ravaglia (Italy), Fintan Stanley (USA), Gary Blair (Scotland), plus accordion orchestras from Scotland, Ireland, and England. Special guests Councillor Mrs Kingston and consort, and Marco Galeazzi (Cemex in Italy) attended the Saturday evening concert. The event was so successful that over 200 people have already confirmed bookings for next year's event, which will be held from November 17th to 20th 2002. |
