Joanna Strand and Jacqui Tate Christmas Show   The Pheasantry 1200
Ho! Ho! Ho! It's almost here! A few events to get you in the mood coming up. Book now for Joanna Strand and Jacqui Tate's fabulous Christmas Cabaret at the Pizza Express Live, Holborn with a fabulous 4-piece band including Romano Viazzani on accordion. Karen Street is in Birmingham on the 4th December with the Birmingham Festival Choral Society and "Wassail". Rafal Luc is back in the UK for concert with the London Sinfonietta at the Queen Elizabeth Hall. ZZ Music wishes Ben De Souza well with his lecture and concert to the Loughborough Schools Foundation. A little bad news too this month with the sad passing of 97-year old accordionist Barimar - an accordionist from the golden age of the accordion. You can read the very interesting English transcript of the interview Romano Viazzani did with him for Strumenti e Musica or click on the link to S&M's website for the original Italian. We have an incredible range of some truly excellent used accordions in stock at the moment, many almost new with substantial savings on their list prices as new. This month we have a gorgeous white Cavagnolo French button accordion in which come up quite rarely in the UK. Pick up a bargain accordion this Christmas with ZZ Music.  For other Christmas presents or stocking fillers take a look at our range of books, CDs and Sheet Music. The much in demand Inger Murray book GET RID OF STAGE FRIGHT AND PERFORMANCE ANXIETY is back in limited stock after many appeals for a reprint. Our newly- translated book by world-renowned jazz accordionist Renzo Ruggieri and translated by Romano Viazzani is a must for any would-be jazzer. This is a step by step tutor aimed at the accordionist wishing to play jazz on the accordion and is a no-nonsense practical approach in achieving this aim.  Thank you for supporting ZZ Music throughout the year.  Best wishes for a peaceful and joyful Christmas season. See you next month in our January 2023 newsletter!
