Ann Wenn

Since retiring I have taken-up playing the accordion which is not only something I love but has introduced me to a whole new community of wonderful friends from around the world.

Ann and Sebby are dear friends of mine and to raise money for Sebby’s Space I am arranging a fundraising concert starring The Kennet Accordion Orchestra who are kindly donating their time to perform at:

All Saints’ Church Hall, Onslow Gardens Sanderstead, South Croydon, CR2 9AB

Sunday 9th June 2019 at 2pm

Tickets only £5!! – book early to avoid disappointment at sebbys-space@myphone.coop

The Kennet Accordion Orchestra based in Hungerford, has been established for over thirty years, comprising enthusiastic accordionists of mixed playing abilities from Hungerford, Newbury, Kintbury, Swindon and Great Somerford. Their common passion for the accordion has enabled the Orchestra to perform at numerous venues supporting local charities and fundraising activities, as well as competing at a number of Music Festivals nationally.

The Orchestra’s Musical Director, Nigel Pasby, has arranged a lot of the music himself, increasing their vast repertoire which the Orchestra rehearses extensively.

They play music from the movies, pop, classical and musicals. If there is a piece of music that can be arranged it will be used! Nigel cites Mozart and Mercury (Freddie) as two of his major musical influences and this diversity is reflected in their performances.
