A very talented bunch and with vocals to boot. Thank you all, it was a great start to the afternoon.

Our guest this week was piano accordionist Lionel Reekie. Lionel started with 'Under Paris Skies' and 'Ain't Misbehavin' (with vocals). We were treated to some history and explanation on the internal workings of the modern accordion. Lionel's tunes included 'Orange Blossoms', 'Quando, Quando, Quando', 'Hush-a-bye Now', 'I've Got You Under My Skin' and 'Buona Sera Signorina'. A good mixture with some wonderful vocals thrown in. Thank you Lionel, it's always a pleasure to hear you perform and we look forward to your return next year.
