Hi Everyone

 

A busy time ahead for accordionists here in London. If you're in London next weekend don't miss these events:

Firstly Owen Murray's phenomenal accordion students from the Royal Academy of Music Ksenija Sidorova, Amadej Herzog, Trang Nguyen, Martynas Levickis and Rafal Luc who have had a cracking year will be playing at a lovely summer concert at Our Lady and St Thomas of Canterbury Church, 22 Roxborough Park, Harrow on the Hill, HA1 3BE.   It's at 7.30pm on Saturday 12th June 2010. Let me know if you want tickets (definites only please as I will have to purchase them for you).  They're £10 and include a Smoked Salmon supper and Strawberries and Cream.   The concert should end at around 9.30pm.  The bar is open from 7pm and for the supper.  You could always get these tickets from the parish office directly on 020 8869 6896.

 

The same night (12th June) sees excellent Brazilian Jazz accordionist Chico Chagas play with amazing pianist Simon Mulligan and Eduardo Mendonça - drums, Gili Lopes - bass and Special Guest - Caroline Sant’Anna - percussion.  Quite a few of us are already planning to go from Harrow straight after the Classical concert down to The Hideaway for some Jazz.  The set starts at 9.30pm or a little later so those who go to both may only catch the later set.  Definitely worth seeing though as Chico, Simon and the gang are jaw-droppingly amazing together. See link for details:

 

For those of you near Stroud, Mike Adcock and Pete Rosser are presenting an Accordion day on June 20th which includes concerts and workshops.  Click on the attachment above for info.
