Strauss Sr). The program was varied, well played, and drew two encores. There were excellent spots from band members Jean Finney, singing and playing (guitar), her own compositions, Mike Turner performing three George Formby songs on his banjolele, and the accordion duo Ken and Wendy Farran. Founded in 1982 by accordion teacher and NAO Vice President Ken Farran, the Weaver Valley Accordion Band have performed at many concerts, special events and competitions, and has performed in Germany and the Netherlands.
