Accordion World
A new accordion magazine called Accordion World has been produced in response to the growing accordion movement in this country. The magazine is a generous A4 in size, 24 pages, and some colour pages too. The magazine is currently a quarterly magazine out in March, June, September and December. A UK subscription costs just £9.50 including postage and packing, this was calculated at 4 issues at £2 per issue and £1.50 per postage equaling £9.50. If you would like to subscribe to Accordion World then send a cheque made payable to "David Keen" at 86 Brook Dene Avenue, Watford, Hertfordshire, WD1 4LF, or telephone 01923 236880. Tell him where you found out about the magazine it will help him with his marketing.
The front cover of the magazine has a picture of Sandy Brechin leaning on his accordion. The magazine is produced on top quality paper, full colour , A4 in size and looks very professional. If the magazine had a price printed on the cover then it would not look out of place on any shop shelf.
