New Hohner Accordions for 2008
Jan., 3, 2008
 Gilbert Reyes of Reyes Accordions recently shared some photos of the new diatonic accordions that Hohner will unveil at the NAMM Show later this month. These three new “Xtreme” models have 34 buttons (the standard Corona has 31) and include reed switches — three on the Tex-Mex Corona II Xtreme and five on the norteo and vallenato tuned Corona III Xtremes. They certainly seem designed to compete with Gabbanelli accordions, which have long been popular in the Conjunto/Tejano scene.Hohner Corona II Xtreme Hohner Corona II Xtreme
(same model as above, but in a color that gives me flashbacks) Hohner Corona III N Xtreme Hohner Corona III V Xtreme Interestingly, Gilbert built his own 34-button Hohner a couple years ago by modifying an existing Hohner Corona II. I’m sure he played a role in Hohner’s decision to release these new models. I haven’t seen any specifications or pricing information yet, but I’ll update this post as soon as I hear more (probably after the NAMM Show).

The Octonauts
Jan., 3, 2008
 I recently came across a children’s book called The Octonauts and the Sea of Shade, by Meomi. I was delighted to find out that the main character, Captain Barnacles Bear, plays the accordion!Check it out to see how the Captain and the Octonauts save the Sea of Shade. (I’ll give you a hint: the Captain’s accordion is involved!) This is a great book for kids. And definitely a great last-minute holiday gift for your favorite accordion-loving kid-at-heart, too!

Rare Pasquale Ficosecco Accordion 1930
Dec., 15, 2007
 Tony Gilbert with Freddie Gibbons Accordion This Accordion was originally owned by a Freddie Gibbons. A professional entertainer, who for many years performed on stage at the famous Windmill Theatre, here he entertained using this accordion also at other Moss Empire circuit Theatres.For the above reasons, we refer to it as our “Bums and Boobs box” Reconditioned by Tony with loving care! Freddie was a wonderful character on stage, in later life he moved to Norfolk becoming the owner of two Public houses; very soon they became popular venues for all music lovers.He also became a regular player on Radio Norfolk. Rare Pasquale Ficosecco Accordion 1930 Sadly now passed on, Freddie leaves his wife living local to us, who has given the above information, and of the colourful lifestyle concerning this accordion, also on Freddie’s career midst the scenes of the London Windmill.We became the owners 5 years ago; it then needed certain attention, which we lovingly gave it ourselves. It has been a privilege to play it at various festivals, usually joining the Vintage Accordion Orchestra’s.4/5 voiced it is Musette tuned, with a powerful volume in very good playing condition.Tony & Phyl Gilbert.

It was then owned by a professional entertainer by name of Freddie Gibbons, who in later life moved to Norfolk, becoming the owner of two local Pubs.Due to Freddie's ability in entertaining, this created very successful drinking places near Gt.Yarmouth. He also became a regular on Radio Norfolk. (Accordion name is Pasqualy Ficosseco) - Best Rgds, Tony Gilbert - - - - - Doug Inkpen is a member of The Canterbury Accordion Club:-

"A Taste of Burns" Burns Supper and Ceilidh Dance
More details to follow...
Please note this is a ticket only ceilidh dance as we need to know numbers in advance for the haggis, neeps and tatties. This event has traditionally been over subscribed so we suggest orders for tickets should be made sooner rather than later. Prices are £20 non-members, £18 members and £15 concessions (students and OAP's). Can you please give us a mailing address to send the tickets and also indicate if any of your party prefers to have vegetarian rather that traditional haggis. We will also reserve tables for larger parties to ensure you can sit together.
