Our guest Lionel Reekie and daughter Alexandra then took to the stage with their piano accordions. Alexandra is currently fundraising for her trip to the World Accordion Championships in Austria where she will be competing. Lionel played some amazing tangos and Latin numbers including 'Quando, Quando, Quando', 'Jealousy' and 'Crazy'. They dueted and Alexandra then dazzled us with a polka and a couple of jazz numbers. Alexandra like her father, is a truly talented performer and showed us why at the age of 13 she has just won both the NZ and Australian Accordion Championships (in her age group). We wish her all the best with the Worlds! Lionel then ended a wonderful afternoon with the perennial 'Now Is The Hour'.
