Difficoltà sul visto per la Nuova Zelanda hanno trattenuto Marko Miletic (Serbia) il vincitore del 2008 della Coupe Mondiale nella categoria Fisarmonica a Piano dal raggiungere la Nuova Zelanda per esibirsi.

The concert marked the 75th birthday of SAC President Johnny Coleclough – a marvellous ambassador for the accordion, who revelled in the proceedings from beginning to end. The President’s Night also saw the premiere appearance of Rob Howard’s new book ‘An A to the Z of the Accordion, Volume 4’, which sold lots of copies on the night.
