The members of the No.1 Ladies Accordion Orchestra come from all over the UK, meeting up for 6 weekends a year to play together under the skilled guidance of Musical Director, Jane Ward. These weekends can be anywhere in Great Britain, from Edinburgh to Cornwall, from North Wales to Brighton as well as more central locations such as Cambridge, the Malverns and the Peak District. Skilled accordion-players, united by a love of the piano accordion, their performances are a celebration of tradition, infused with modern flair.
What a great concert in Priddy, and what a fabulous audience! Over 100 people turned out - the village was probably empty 😁. Members of the audience joined in, singing along to at least four of our pieces - a record. They also helped, with one audience member popping behind the bar to help serve drinks to a growing queue, and another selling merchandise as he was standing near the table. We look forward to returning in 2 or 3 years with some new repertoire.
