Leyland Accordion Club - 18th July 2007
|
Our July ConcertOur July concert started with Colin Ensor playing Reine De Musette, Music Maestro Please, Domino and Getting Sentimental Over You. Basil Berry was our next performer playing Chattanooga Choo Choo, Moonlight Serenade, At Last, Dream and Serenade In Blue. Leading up to our guest artist was Dugald McCallum who played Fordlands 2 Step, Aint Misbehaving and Cowshed Ballet. It was now time for our guest artist Barry Graham to play, Barry was making his debut as a guest artist but you would have had no idea from what we were about to hear. He started his first half on his MIDI accordion, playing Myfanwy, Unchained Melody and Autumn Leaves. His next tunes were a set of around 8 tunes from the musical Cats which were followed by Cuckoo Hornpipe. Barry then did an accordion change to his acoustic only Guerrini accordion. Playing I Should Have Known Better, I Want To Hold Your Hand, Yesterday, When I'm 64 and an Irish Medley. The slow piece Memory was followed by Hoy Tune and Lucie E Ombre. Tico Tico was the next piece with Trumpet Hornpipe to follow. With just a few minutes until the break, Graham finished his first half with Bel Viso and Lichtenstein Polka. After the break, we continued the entertainment with Bernard Belshaw playing At Last, How Can I Be Sure, Blaze Away and Wonderful Copenhagen. Tom Bennett was next playing All I Ask Of You and Starlight Express. After I had played one tune it was time for Barry to start his second half. The first piece was something from Tosca followed by Poet And Peasant Overture which lasted nine and a half minutes. The next tunes were an Irish set starting with The Slide before continuing to a lament and some fast reels. Dark Island led to Bluebell Polka, Danny Boy and In My Liverpool Home. The slow tune Fields Of Athenry was followed by the faster Whiskey In The Jar and then Maggie May. It was getting close to the end of the evening. So, to finish, Barry played The Hippopotamous Song, Rondo Alaturk, Mon Dieu - Mon Dieu and finally, to finish, Montes Czardas. Barry had provided us with a wide range of music in a great many styles, we could not have asked for a better night. I know I have to book his return in the near future as I received many comments from people leaving at the end of the night saying what a great night it had been. David Batty |
