49th PIF Castelfidardo - Italia

by Diatonic News
49th PIF Castelfidardo - ItaliaPIF Castelfidardo - September 11th to 15th 2024

Now in its 49th edition, PIF – International Accordion Award – is an international event imbued with a great spirit of innovation.
This event has built its success gradually over time. Let’s review some of its milestones.

The beginnings of the International Accordionist Exhibition in 1963, fifty-eight years ago, the introduction of foreign participants in 1975 and the 1st National Accordionist Championship in 1979, which became World Championship in 1981. Known as the International Accordion Festival from 1989 to 2013, it was called P.I.F. for the first time in 2014, at the edition with Roberto Lucanero as artistic director.

PIF says: "This brief survey makes us proud of the work done and projects us into the future with great enthusiasm. Edition after edition, we are becoming increasingly aware that a solid experience and the love for music and the accordion are fundamental ingredients required to keep evolving and growing in the name of top quality."

Oxford Folk Weekend – UK

by Diatonic News
Oxford Folk Weekend – UK
Folk Arts Oxford aims to promote folk and traditional dance, music and song in the Oxfordshire region. In particular they are interested in improving access for those who might face barriers to participation in the arts.

Through our funded project work: children in Headington have learned about local lad William Kimber, and the musical legacy he has left; a new band called Iris has been formed, who accompany all their songs with Makaton signing; children from mainstream and special schools in Oxfordshire have the chance to create music together, and perform on the main stage at Folk Weekend: Oxford.

Alongside their own projects and events, FAO works collaboratively with other local organisations, forging links and creating opportunities for folk artists to work in education and community projects, as well as showcase their talent in local events.

by Diatonic News
Carrefour Mondial dell'Accordéon
35th edition of the World Accordion Fair from August 30th to September 1st, 2024

The Carrefour mondial de l’accordéon was established more than 35 years ago in Montmagny, a town in Quebec’s Chaudière-Appalaches region. The festival has grown into a major international event. Each year, it features some 75 musicians from all around the world.

Selected artists give street performances, filling the town with the lively and diverse sounds of the accordion. Over the span of three days, festival-goers can travel through time to discover (or rediscover) well-known musicians. World music, Quebec traditional, musette, classical, jazz… there’s something for everyone!

Activities are held place in concert halls as well as at various outdoor venues. Exhibitions, musical entertainment at restaurants, workshops and a traditional dance party are all included in the festival program. It features more than 30 concerts that give visitors the opportunity to immerse themselves in local Montmagny culture.

Throughout the year, the Carrefour mondial de l’accordéon also organizes traditional music outreach activities, along with projects designed to showcase the diatonic accordion and nurture the next generation of accordionists.

Harmonica Masters - Trossingen/Deutschland

by Diatonic News
Harmonica Training unterrichten wird. Nach dem Erfolg seines ersten Kurses im Jahr 2023 wurde außerdem Chris Kramer wieder eingeladen, den Wochenend-Workshop für Anfänger am Freitag und Samstag im Jahr 2024 zu leiten.

Immer auf der Suche nach neuen Impulsen wurden zwei großartige neue Lehrer verpflichtet, die 2024 zum ersten Mal unterrichten werden. Long Ti Tian kam 2011 aus China, um am Hohner-Konservatorium chromatische Mundharmonika zu studieren, bevor er an der Jazz- und Rockschule in Freiburg seinen BA in Performance Studies absolvierte. Er tritt derzeit mit der Gruppe vom renommierten brasilianischen Jazz-Gitarristen Fabio Gouvea auf, und wird bei der HMW 2024 einen leicht zugänglichen und gut konzipierten Kurs für Jazz-Chromonika unterrichten. Und last but not least auf Wunsch vieler Studenten, für einen Workshop zum Thema Rack Harp für Gitarristen den renommierten britischen Blueskünstler Eddie Martin gewinnen können. Eddie ist ein wahrer Meister auf beiden Instrumenten und ein großartiger Pädagoge, der sowohl seine Leidenschaft für die Musik wie auch die zum Spielen erforderlichen Fähigkeiten vermitteln kann.

Außerdem gibt es drei kurze Sonderworkshops während den Mittagspausen am Donnerstag, Freitag und Samstag: Mattias Bogefors wird eine praktische Einleitung in seine Methode geben, die Mundharmonika therapeutisch einzusetzen; George Reijnders und Arie-Jan Folkerts (Marble Amps) werden wieder ihren Workshop zum Thema elektrisch verstärkte Harp präsentieren; und Chris Kramer stellt eine tolle neue Stimmung vor, um ganz einfach und intuitiv in Molltonarten spielen zu können.

Ab sofort gibt es Anmeldungen für die 16. Harmonica Masters Workshops.

Oysterband "a long long good bye" tour - UK

by Diatonic News
Oysterband
AFTER 45 YEARS ON THE ROAD, OYSTERBAND HAVE DECIDED TO TAKE THE TOUR BUS OUT FOR ITS LAST RIDE

“We’re hanging up our travelling shoes, but we’re taking a year or so to say goodbye to our lovely live audience.And we mean to enjoy every minute!”

Emerging in the early 80s from their folk club and ceilidh band days, Oysterband infused both the tradition and their own songs with a passion and energy that was electrifying for the time. Polkas, politics and a heaving dance floor seemed just right for Thatcher’s Britain. Signing to new roots label Cooking Vinyl, headlining English Roots Against Apartheid, playing Glastonbury and the Fleadh several times each, touring with The Pogues in Europe and Billy Bragg in North America, hosting the Big Session Festival….. all gained them a large and loyal international following.

Their collaboration with June Tabor in 1990 produced the cult-classic album Freedom & Rain, and it was renewed 21 years later for Ragged Kingdom, one of the best-selling folk-rock albums of the new millennium.

Winners of several BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, including Best Band twice, Oysterband’s song-writing has never stood still, and classics such as The Oxford Girl, When I’m Up (I Can’t Get Down), Everywhere I Go and Put Out The Lights have entered the folk canon.

“It’s been a long, tough, joyful journey, but the time has come.

In the words of our own song Granite Years, we’re waving you a long, long goodbye…..come help us celebrate!”

12. Windros Festival „Baltic Crossings“ im Freilichtmuseum Schwerin Mueß

Am ersten Septemberwochenende vom 06. bis 08.09.2024 findet das große Treffen der traditionellen Musiker aus aller Welt zu zwölften Mal statt.

Traditionelle Musik ist dazu geeignet, Kommunikation zu fördern und Menschen verschiedenster Kulturen zusammenzuführen. Das Windros-Festival bietet somit die Gelegenheit, verschiedene Volksmusiken der Welt und ihre Musiker und Tänzer kennenzulernen. Man lernt das Fremde besser verstehen und präsentiert selbst die eigene Kultur und Musik vor einem internationalen Publikum. In einer Welt, in der Kulturen immer näher zusammenwachsen und friedliches Miteinander nicht selbstverständlich ist, ist Musik und Tanz ein Symbol für Gemeinschaftlichkeit. Das soll gefòrdert werden.

Blowzabella have a unique, rousing, drone-infused sound played with a fantastic sense of melody, rhythmic expertise and pure feeling. They write their own music which is influenced by English and European traditional dance music. All band members compose; many of their songs have become “standards” in the modern English/European folk repertoire and are played by people all over the world. Bands all over Europe who experiment with folk music often mention Blowzabella as an important source of inspiration.
Therefore, the idea quickly grew within the band to share their expertise and especially approach with the public. With success because every year the band organizes several Blowzabella weekends in the UK and in Europe. These festivals are always a creative melting pot of masterclasses, initiations as balls and concerts. The goal of this festival is that everyone can participate, beginners as well as advanced musicians as people who have never danced before. All in a relaxed and warm atmosphere!

Busy Schedule for Iontach Band - Ireland/Germany
The band consists of the three renowned musicians Siobhán Kennedy from Dundalk, Co. Louth, Ireland, Nick Wiseman-Ellis from Norwich, England, and Jens Kommnick from Bremerhaven, Germany. The group was founded 2003 by Siobhán, Jens and Anglika Berns (vocals, bodhrán, piano, whistle) and started to perform in this line up 2016. The colourful mixture of emotional harmony singing together with fine arrangements of lively dance music and lyrical melodies has become their trademark. The wide range of instruments they play includes flute, fiddle, whistles, concertina, guitar, bouzouki, cello and piano. This coupled with their warm, open and humorous stage presentation has resulted in Iontach being one of the most sought after Irish traditional bands in the German scene.

Folk Music Festival „Griežynė“- Lituania

by Diatonic News
Folk Music Festival „Griežynė“- Lituania
The 17th International Instrumental Folk Music Festival
GRIEŽYNĖ 2024
September 4-8, 2024

International instrumental folk music festival „Griežynė“ is the oldest such genre event in the Eastern Baltic region. It was 1992 when the idea of two enthusiasts of instrumental folk music Algirdas Klova ir Arūnas Lunys came true and takes place every two years in Vilnius.

The name of the festival was chosen purposefully. Griežynė is a dialect word for a fiddle, one of the main folk instruments in Lithuania and other countries. Vilnius gathers a great number of fiddlers from different sides of the world.

The festival seeks to familiarise people with folk music performers, folk instruments, and traditional music of different countries. It purposes to demonstrate to the festival guests the authentic tradition of Lithuanian folk music performance. In 14 years the festival has already hosted musicians from Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Poland, Finland, England, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Peru, Ireland, Wales, USA, Italy, Greece, Hungary, Japan, Iran, Turkey, China and many other parts of the world.

„Griežynė“ is more than concerts. It includes shows of musical instruments and exhibitions of pictures featuring folk music performers, folklore documentaries presenting ethnographic material on customs, musical instruments' production, meetings with the musicians, and instrument craftsmen.

CD "Ganspil2" by Gangspil - Denmark

by Diatonic News
2x CD - a total of 28 traditional DK tracks with
(Only released as physical CD)

Over four years have passed since their first release – Gangspil GO1015. The time after the first release was spent on many small tours in Denmark, Germany, Belgium, Finland and France as well as more than 100 concerts in the USA and Canada.

Gangspil began as a trio and became a duo, which has given the opportunity to dig deeper into the unison playing that is the core of Gangspil's music. It has also given the opportunity to play with different musicians, each of whom contributes an extra dimension. This album features many of these musical friends, Malene, Vidar, Jacob, Lisbeth and Peter.

In the four years, they have also collected a very large amount of new material – more than for an ordinary CD. Therefore, you have the chance to hold something as old-fashioned as a double album in your hands. Hence the title: Gangspil 2.

CD "Lagom" by Remco Sietsema & Janos Koolen - Netherlands

by Diatonic News
CD
Remco Sietsema & Janos Koolen - Lagom (2022)

Remco Sietsema & Janos Koolen play Lagom, one of Remco's compositions. The tune is a Slip Jig with Scandinavian influences
Lagom is a colourful album with rousing and narrative arrangements. Remco Sietsema and Janos Koolen switch between lyrical and rhythmic and between different styles; from a polska to funk and from bluegrass to a waltz. In addition to the instrumental songs on the album, Sietsema also sings in Groningen, his native language. Recorded live and with plenty of room for improvisation, you can hear and feel the energy and concentration of two musicians at the cutting edge in every silence and solo. With Lagom, Sietsema and Koolen seek out the boundaries within the domain of their instruments and immediately push them further.

Netherlands - Folk - Self-released tracks:
Crispy Bits (4:46)
Balkan Beats (5:23)
Old Grieze (4:07)
The Monster Tune / the Mokey Bounce (4:39)
Tangerine (5:20)

Mien Laand / Saint Lawrence (4:21)
Zweribach (3:49)
New Polish Farmer (4:00)
Doe Says 'T Mor (4:21)
Lagom (5:11)

Remco Sietsema and Janos Koolen both have a background in folk and world music and have worked together many times in the past, including in Merals Harem and The Tennessee Studs. Janos was also one of the main musicians on Sietsema's solo album Sultana , which was released in 2017.
