WELCOMEIt gives me great pleasure to welcome you all to the

42nd All-Ireland Accordion Festival.

On behalf of the Irish Accordion Association I extend a warm welcome to all players and guests and hope you have an enjoyable and musically rewarding weekend.

This is the first time we have held our festival in Trim and we thank the management and staff of the Castle Arch Hotel.

We welcome our adjudicator, Phuong Nguyen, from England. He has adjudicated our festival before, but it has been 15 years since he has been here, so most of you will not have met him before. We hope he enjoys his stay here.

We hope to run a masterclass later this year and we will be in contact with all the teachers to let them know when it will be. We would envisage that this would be suitable for teenagers and young adults who would be of grade 5 standard or above.

We wish the very best to all the performers this weekend.
