 Stockport Accordion Club’s contribution to World Accordion Day, on May 6th, was a ‘President’s Night’ concert, which proved to be a non-stop feast of music. With no booked guest, the club members provided most of the music.This included the SAC Band (MD Dennis Pepler), SAC Orchestra (MD Brian Jenkins), SAC Jazz Band (Marj Howard – trumpet, Brian Jenkins – tenor horn, John Nixon – clarinet, Derek Pritchard – tenor sax, Tony Wynroe – keyboard, and Johnny Coleclough - vocals), a quartet: Rachel White, Sarah Hodge, Jason & Justin Ryan (playing a great version of ‘Lord of the Dance’), Dennis Pepler, Chris Green and Betty Molloy, Gillian Curvis (on keyboard), Brennan Wilson and Leo Hickey, Ray Peacock, Marj and Rob Howard ( trumpet and Roland FR7), John Higham, Derek Stubbs, and two short spots by SAC Vice President Pearl Fawcett-Adriano. The concert marked the 75th birthday of SAC President Johnny Coleclough – a marvellous ambassador for the accordion, who revelled in the proceedings from beginning to end. The President’s Night also saw the premiere appearance of Rob Howard’s new book ‘An A to the Z of the Accordion, Volume 4’, which sold lots of copies on the night.
