How often do you get the opportunity to see a top international musician, on stage in Lincolnshire, FREE OF CHARGE? - not very often.

Well, on Wednesday 19th March, the renowned accordionist Pearl Fawcett-Adriano will be appearing at Wragby Town Hall, courtesy of the Lindum Accordion Club.

In her career, Pearl has made many appearances on BBC radio and television, alongside such names as Semprini, Max Jaffa, Roy Castle and David Jacobs. Her live concert venues include Leningrad's Philharmonic Hall and London's Royal Albert Hall. Pearl was the first British accordionist and the first western female accordionist to do a solo tour of the former USSR.

Pearl is highly esteemed internationally, and has been honoured by having a wax imprint of her right hand displayed in a unique accordion museum in Northern Italy. This museum is the only one of its kind anywhere and celebrates famous and notable accordionists who have influenced and contributed to the world of the accordion.

Pearl's vast repertoire ranges from classic to light music, including French Musette and continental, but no matter what style of music she plays, her technique and control of the instrument ensures that it is interpreted to the full.

Amazingly, we at the Lindum Accordion Club are so pleased to welcome her to Lincolnshire that we invite you to be our guests for this unique evening. There will be no admission charge, and light refreshments will be available during the interval. Doors open at 7.15 for a 7.30 start.
