Year 1 No 1 October 1977
Wick Accordion and Fiddle club opened their 1977-78 season in MacKay’s Hotel on Monday, 29th August. A large attendance gave a clear indication that the Club was in for another successful season. The majority of last year’s members turned out in force and many new faces were welcomed. Guest artists for the evening were the Sean Maguire Trio, with Sean himself on fiddle, Joe Burke on melodeon and Josephine Keegan on piano.
Proceeding got under way at 8 o’clock with various local artists taking the stage, to display their undoubted musical talents to an appreciative audience. To close the first half of the programme came the guest artists’ appearance. The many reels, jigs and slow airs played by the talented Trio were met with thunderous applause by all, and their sheer genius in playing their various instruments was superb. The audience arrived with the audience eagerly looking forward to the Trio’s performance in the second half.
After sausage rolls and a few more drams, the evenings performance was continued with the local talent providing excellent musical entertainment. The quality of music played by the ‘locals’ at Wick Club is of a very high standard indeed, and it is never forgotten that they provide the backbone of every evening’s programme.
