Lars Ek Returns, Norfolk – UKby Rob Howard |
In September Swedish accordionist Lars Ek returns to the UK as the chief guest at the Seacroft Accordion Festival, Hemsby, Norfolk. The festival runs from September 18th to 22nd at the Seacroft Holiday Centre and includes concerts, workshops, free & easy sessions, and a trade show. Other guests include Denise Leigh & Stefan Andrusyschyn, Rosemary Wright, Jovan Rnjak, Harry Hussey, and Bert Santilly. Lars Ek made his UK debut in November 1986 at Malcolm Gee’s first Caister Autumn Accordion Festival, performing as chief supporting act to Norway’s Toralf Tollefsen. Although he has performed at two subsequent festivals in Norfolk, Lars Ek’s overseas appearances are rare. One of his most notable achievements is founding the international Frosini Society dedicated to preserving and promoting the music of Pietro Frosini and other composers of accordion music.
