22 of us went to the Irish International Accordion Festival in Navan this Spring - our first trip abroad and our first competitive event. We were thrilled to come second in the Senior Orchestra Class, and our dream now is to compete at the huge triennial festival at Innsbruck in May 2013.
To start raising funds for this, we've had a professional CD made of our June concert at Morley. It's a lively and varied programme - including the Suite of Dalmatian Dances by Götz, which we played in Ireland, a James Bond Suite with vocals by Pat Parker, and our leaders playing as Duo Esprit.
We're backed by two professional percussionists, and it is a first-rate recording.
