Year 1 No 1 October 1977
Meetings are held on the last Wednesday of the month, September to May, in the Waverley Suite in the Queen’s Head Hotel, Kelso at 7.30pm.
As membership is limited to comply with the Fire Regulation restrictions, a waiting list is kept but wherever possible it is reduced to allow membership.
Although the Club is well represented by member artistes, non-member artistes are very welcome. Entry is free and tea is provided at the interval, the only stipulation is that they entertain.
Last year, the Club’s opening session, two concerts and a dinner dance were promoted, which were very successful and well attended. The May meeting culminated the session with superb performances by guest artistes Bobby Crowe, James Lindsay (accordion) and Colin Lander (drums). Supporting artistes, to whom the Club is very much indebted, music was performed by accordionists Helen Fletcher, Marion Wilson, Sandy White, John Galgraith, Bob Liddell, George Butler, Michael Scott and Jimmy Nairn, pianist Kenny Lees and on drums Will Gillie and Neil Turnbull. John Cairns compered the proceedings.
An extra meeting has been arranged for Wednesday, October 12th, in the Queen’s Head Hotel when Paddy Neary, this year’s All Ireland Accordion Champion will be guest artiste. He will be accompanied by Alec MacArthur (accordionist) from Biggar, Lanarkshire.
Robert Whitehead, accordionist from Glendale Accordion Club, will appear as guest at the meeting in the Queen’s Head Hotel on Wednesday, 26th October at 7.30pm.
At present a concert in the Tait Hall, Kelso on Sunday 30th October, at 7.30pm is being organized. The programme will include the Currie Brithers, Ian Coulston Trio (featuring the Border Fiddler, Geoff Purvis), Andrew Fairley (tenor) and the Cullet Group (folk and traditional music).
The Club wishes the newspaper every success.
