St Audries Bay - Accordion & Folk Week, Devon – UK
Contributed by Rene Mairis

The week was well attended by the folk musicians who worked on recording a CD for dancing.  This meant intensive study of a number of tunes, which were put together in a special book produced specifically for the week.  In the evenings dances were held to give people the opportunity to both play and dance and to try out new dances, some of which worked and some did not - a worthwhile learning experience.

The 'classical' group was very small - again.  Where were all you accordionists?  As a result the inevitable happens, and in future there will not be an accordion week in September at St Audries, just a folk week. John Leslie will concentrate on the Easter break, which will be held from March 21st to 26th 2008.

This group worked on four ensemble pieces and enjoyed various workshops, a master class, lecture, folk music session and plenty of private lessons.  Plus, of course, there was one and only Harry Hussey always on hand, ready to play at any time of the day or evening.

St Audries is always a lovely venue and everyone enjoys the relaxed atmosphere, the food, the company and the chance to play and listen to a good variety of music.

New Arrangements Available from Gary Dahl
Contributed by Harley Jones

Accordionist, teacher and arranger Gary Dahl announces a selection of new arrangements available through his website including high quality rock/pop arrangements that are available with lessons via .mp3 files.  Selections previewed on his website include ‘Adios Muchachos’, ‘Angel Eyes’, ‘California Dreamin’, ‘Champagne Polka’, ‘Indifference’, ‘Lara’s Theme’, ‘Misty’, ‘Under Paris Skies’, and many more.

In a recent testimonial received from Armand Dion, he says that he “…recently returned to the accordion and couldn’t find a local teacher. Then I found Gary Dahl’s web site and the impressive mp3 system. I have never been happier with my progress and my playing ability is starting to inspire standing ovations! We are 2000 miles apart but Gary’s system is very easy to use and is actually more efficient and more fun than any one on one lesson... plus, you get Gary Dahl’s expertise from 47 years of teaching, professional playing and publishing notoriety.”

For complete details of lessons, new arrangements (including sample pages of each) and his various books available, please visit www.accordions.com/garydahl or email Gary at: garydahlmusic@msn.com
