Barnsley Accordion Club
Accordion
Players of all standards from total beginner to expert
are invited to join us at any of our
meetings.
Even if you just like the sound of the Accordion and want to sit and listen we shall be delighted to meet you. All are welcome.
The club formerly met at about 8pm on the first Wednesday of each month at Barnsley Trades and Labour Club, Racecommon Road, Barnsley, South Yorkshire
From October 2003 however it will be on the First Tuesday of the month so that we will continue to retain the best facilities for our meetings at the Trades Club.
You can Book founder member, club secretary and well-known musician, Alex Govier to provide music for your special event.
With my latest Roland FR 7 accordion I can play even more authentic French or Italian style music to enhance your specially themed occasion, eg for weddings, dinners, commercial promotions etc.
With the new accordion I can tailor not only the tunes and the playing style to these modes but get exactly the right range of accordion sounds of whichever nationality to suit the music.
This ia an instrument that both sounds and looks right, all the sounds come from the instrument itself with no trailing wires or connections, yet I can set it to be any one of a variety of complete accordion setups with the option of some extra instrumental sounds, such as a more sophisticated rhythmic acoustic bass sound. to give the feel of a small combo playing.
I have sounds also for general or jazz style use, all of them making the most of the music and creating the ideal atmosphere for you and your guests. Telephone me on 07769 732287 or go to my website http://www.playing4u.co.uk to find out more
