She wasn't feeling at all well before she began playing, but then – like the trouper she is - rallied and turned in a 5 star performance. Rosemary played ‘Washington Post’, ‘Carte Postale’, ‘Temptation Rag’, ‘Petite Fleur’, ‘A Night in Montmartre’, ‘The Stack of Wheat’/‘Harvest Home’/‘The Merry Reapers’ (hornpipes), ‘Chineuse’, ‘Intermezzo’ from ‘Cavalleria Rusticana’, ‘Scherzo’ (J.Gart), ‘Preludio’ (A. Volpi), ‘Caracole’ (R. Binge), ‘Blue Danube’, ‘Danza Orientale’ (Fugazza), Prelude to Act 3 from ‘La Traviata’ (Verdi), ‘Pupazetti’ (L. Fancelli), ‘The Flying Dance’, ‘Flight of the Angels’ (C. Carozza), ‘The Flying Scotsman’, ‘The Dancing Dustman’/’Woodland Flowers’/’The Highland Brigade’ (Felix Burns), ‘Indifference’ (J. Colombo/T. Murena), and ‘Douche Ecossaise’ (A. Verchuren/G. Ghestem). This was a varied and entertaining programme, and with much for the more discerning ear to appreciate. Anne Parker commented: “Superb musicianship! So many varied, lovely pieces. I especially loved the full version of 'The Blue Danube' - it made the hairs on your neck quiver!”Rosemary Wright, who last played at Stockport AC in 2005, is one of Britain’s finest and most accomplished accordionists. The Stockport AC Band (MD Derek Stubbs), opened the concert, performing the march ‘150 Squadron’ (Clifford Wood), ‘Waltz for Eva’ (John Jones), and the 1930s tango ‘La Morenita’ (Matyas Seiber). Playing supporting spots were Betty Molloy/Christine Green, Dave Holt (playing his first ever spot in public – well done!), John Higham, Ray Peacock, Rob Howard, and John Trigg/Derek Pritchard. Rob Howard was the MC.Contributed by Rob Howard Latest News - Club News Fri, 28 May 2010 12:37:40 +0100 http://www.ukaccordions.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1320&Itemid=45 Latest News - Events Wed, 26 May 2010 00:43:11 +0100 http://www.ukaccordions.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1319&Itemid=9 Italian champion accordionist (http://www.ukaccordions.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=681&Itemid=44)Giuseppe Grosso playing my accordion at the Eastbourne Winter Accordion Festival in February 2008See video below:- Latest News - Accordion Nostalgia Mon, 24 May 2010 16:37:43 +0100 http://www.ukaccordions.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1318&Itemid=45 ..
