NAO North Central Area Festival, West Yorkshire – UKby Anna Bodell of Charnwood Publications |
 |
 The NAO North Central Area Festival, a qualifier for the NAO UK Championships was held on Saturday February 11th in Saltaire West Yorkshire. Picture above is: Roland UK Representative Dean Lawrence, winner Alexander Bodell, Graham Laurie adjudicator.The venue with 4 competition halls and a trade area proved to be a great success – with over 250 entries in accordion classes – all adjudicators commented on the high standard of performance with the highest mark of the day in NAO sections 94, being awarded to Alexander Bodell, who was placed first in the 4 solo categories he entered. It was good to see that the new initiative in a number of local schools in this area led to many young accordionists attending an accordion festival for the first time. Next year’s event is already being organised with the plan of moving the festival to November. The NAO UK Championships will be held at the Adelphi Hotel in Liverpool, April 27th to 29th. Entry closing date is February 28th 2012 and rules and entries forms are on the NAO website. Results of the NAO North Central Area Festival may be found at www.accordions.com/nao |
