Accordion Convention

You could be forgiven for thinking there was an accordion convention in Ilkeston today as there were two buskers on Bath Street. One was outside the Jonathan James shoe shop opposite the Albion Centre.


The second was further down the hill outside Wilkinson's store and he interspersed his accordion music with further pieces played on the flute.


Meanwhile in the Cantelupe Centre at St Mary's Church, our friend Janet who has only been playing the accordion for a year was undertaking a sponsored two hour play to raise funds for Christian Aid. I don't know how much the buskers collected but Janet's effort will raise over £300 for the charity when it is all collected in.
