6th - 7th September 2008 at St. Audries Bay, Somerset.

The sound of an accordion is timeless, romantic and beautiful. Incredibly tactile in nature, the instrument lies close to the heart of the player, and touches the hearts of those who cherish its evocative call. We’re inviting accordion players from every corner of the country to enter the second Roland V-Accordion Championship. Pick up the instrument you love and start playing - you could represent the UK in the international final in Italy as well as winning 5,000 euros and a Roland V-Accordion.

This year’s V-Accordion Championship crowns a weekend packed with music. The national final will feature junior and senior categories, each with a V-Accordion as a prize. The senior winner will also qualify for the international final in Italy, held during November, with a first prize of 5,000 euros.

There are four further competition sections to cater for all standards of players, each with trophies and prizes on offer:

• Beginner
• Elementary
• Intermediate
• Advanced
