WELCOME
It gives me great pleasure to welcome you all to the Irish Open
Accordion Festival incorporating and celebrating the 40th All-Ireland Accordion
Festival.
On behalf of the Irish Accordion Association I extend a warm welcome to
all players and guests from all countries and hope you have an enjoyable and
musically rewarding weekend.
This is the first time we have had an international competitive festival
since 1992 and the first time ever that all sections have been open to all
players.
We welcome our special adjudicator from Italy, Renzo Ruggieri who
appeared as a guest artist at one of our All-Ireland Accordion Festivals many
years ago. Since that time he has established himself as one of the most
eminent jazz accordionists in Italy and Europe.
We also welcome back Ian Watson and for the first time Julie North who
will be adjudicating for us on Saturday morning. They will also be appearing
along with Renzo in our special Saturday night concert which is not to be
missed. This will also feature a special re-union orchestra made up of past
members of senior bands who have competed at All-Ireland Festivals over the
past 40 years.
A special thanks goes to Paddy Kavanagh who along with Sean Kearney
founded the Irish Accordion Association all those years ago. Paddy has kindly
donated the magnificent brass harp trophies for this special event.
I would also mention in closing that there are no report sheets for
competitors this year but everyone will receive a special certificate for their
performance.
I wish the very best to all the performers this weekend.
