Then it was time for the special guests, and Steve Roxton was first on stage for a solo spot that began with the chorus folk song Wild Rover, some lively bier keller songs, a Russian medley, and Luci e Ombre. Jean Dauvin then joined him for the Cuckoo Waltz and the Marche des Accordeonistes Lyonais, after which Jean did his first solo spot that included the Marche des Mineurs, Brise Napolitaine, La Paloma and Tico Tico. Therese Dauvin then came on stage to sing Padam Padam, La Vie En Rose, Kiss Me Honey Honey, and Jean finished the first half with Les Triolets, Reine de Musette and Perles des Crystal. The second half began with Steve playing the Irish Washerwoman and other tunes, and he was then joined by Jean for Fleur de Paris and Adios Sevilla.
