‘Accordions International 2008’ takes place from Friday May 9th to Tuesday 13th at the Dunes Conference Complex, Pontins Holiday Centre, Lytham St Annes, Lancashire.  The guest artistes at this new festival include the fabulous ‘Paris-Moscow Duo’ Domi Emorine & Roman Jbanov (France/Russia), Giancarlo Caporilli (Italy), Stefan Andrusyschyn, Gary Blair, Harry Hussey, Bert Santilly, and Romano Viazzani.   

This new accordion festival, organised by Heather Smith, uniquely shares the site with an already established organ/keyboard festival, and the two festivals will have some overlapping features.  For the accordion enthusiasts, there are concerts, various workshops, master classes, dancing, jam sessions, demonstrations, plus a trade show that includes Geoff Holter Accordions, the Accordion Shop (Electronic Accordions Ltd), John Douglas Music, and Rob Howard's ‘An A to Z of the Accordion’ series of books.
