OH LA LA! “MIDNIGHT IN PARIS” – A TRIBUTE TO FRENCH MUSIC – Fifi la Mer- 9th OCTOBER 2019 – “Oh la la!” mixes Parisian folk music with 60’s French pop, film & impressionist music and unforgettable jazz standards. Brassierie Zedel, London

Stunning new Classical Accordion CD by Claudio Jacomucci – Orpheus’ Ballad – A counterpoint of ancient and contemporary music. Claudio Jacomucci hits the spot again contrasting ancient and modern for classical accordion. CD review by Romano Viazzani

Fifi la Mer releases two new CDs – two wonderfully entertaining new albums. Her appealing vocals which convey a wonderful quality of almost childlike innocence but one shouldn’t be fooled by that because many of her lyrics contain cheeky and humorous cheeky twists. Fifi, accompanies herself on accordion and credits herself for whistling too (one can almost hear her chuckling at the the delight of this skill!) in this appealing and often humorous take on many French chansons and Standards across both two fun albums. She is aided and abetted by some truly wonderful musicians. Colin Oxley on Guitar, Julian Bury on Double Bass and Tenor Sax, Alex Garnett on Clarinet, Tenor sax, and vocals, and Olly Wilby on Clarinet and Tenor Sax.

Bandoneon Tutor by Cesare Chiacchieretta- for Chromatic Bandoneon. At last, a wonderful new tutor for chromatic bandoneon devised by ace accordionist and bandoneonist Cesare Chiacchieretta.  Of the many systems of bandoneon that exist, the chromatic bandoneon is by far the easiest to learn for accordionists. (In Italian and English)

Many performers find they can play perfectly well when they practise but then in performance they lose focus, or show outward signs of nervousness which prevent them from giving a performance they are worthy of. This book will help conquer this all to common problem with professionals, students and amateurs alike. It will help one to understand why it happens and how to counteract it. It is the next best thing to having a one to one or group session with this great lady herself.
