Midland Accordion Festival, Dudley, UK, Nov. 2016

[Matt Butcher]

This doesn't have a big presence on the internet but I came across this on Facebook and thought I would share it in case it attracted someone deeper into the world of accordions. I haven't been to one of these myself but this is the 3rd (or even 4th?) year. The rest of the text is taken from Facebook. I believe "Bruno Continence" is Bruno Continenza and not a trade stand. The Master Butchers Band would like to make it clear that they are not linked to me in any way.

If you're half local and can get a day ticket you'd be foolish to miss this opportunity to spend time learning from some great players..something for everyone's taste..
Too far for me but been to similar lineups a other venues...support if you're able

Yep - some great names. There's similar one of these organised at Middlewich, earlier in the year... only up the road from me but I keep missing it.. because I hadn't spotted it was on. So good you posted it Matt... checking the diary...
