IMAC Music Camp, Dolomites – Italy
Contributed by Holda Paoletti-Kampl

The 8th International Music Accordion Camp took place in a hotel near the town of Sauris di Sotto, in the Dolomites mountain range. This was a small paradise where vacation and music combined themselves wonderfully.

In this atmosphere, learning and practising the accordion under the guidance of Jean-Louis Noton, Mady and Peter Soave was not work, but a real pleasure. The facilities available included massages, sauna, tennis, hiking and IMAC week included concerts given Mady, Peter and Jean-Louis in the cities of Pordenone, Piancavallo and Sauris.

Also available to the teachers and students were Jean-Pierre Andréani (Professor in the region of Chambéry), Ralf Bethke (Professor in Germany), and of Denis Tini, Director of the Department of Music (Professor of Jazz, Harmony, orchestra directio) at the university of Detroit. The 90 students came from France, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Finland, Croatia, USA, and Canada. Those present enjoyed themselves so much they are already planning to return next year!

Titano Accordion Company
Big National Ceilidh – UK
Contributed by Rob Howard

The Big National Ceilidh, a unique nationwide event staged in aid of charity, takes place on Thursday October 18th. The Big National Ceilidh is a night when, in cities, towns and villages all over the country, thousands of people will simultaneously be dancing to the music of live bands.

Each event will be locally organised and distinctive, but two main elements will bind them together:
1) the proceeds from all the events will be given to a single, hugely worthwhile charity, WaterAid;
2) and  at 10pm all the bands will be playing the same tune (‘Jamie Allen’) and as many people as possible will be dancing ‘The Circassian Circle’.

A website www.bignationalceilidh.co.uk has been set up so that bands can register. Details of your ceilidh will then appear on the site, and you will soon be able to find out about other events taking place near you and across the country.

The website also includes more information about the event as a whole, on how to send your proceeds to WaterAid, and advice for running a successful evening. Further information, including suggestions and images for publicity materials, will be introduced in due course. There's already lots of interest in The Big National Ceilidh right across Britain. Make sure YOUR community is part of this fantastic night!
