23rd April 2010 at Blackpool Lancashire.

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 fourth 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 takes place as part of the NAO Blackpool Festival in April. 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 October 2010, with a first prize of 5,000 euros.

To enter, read the rules and then download an entry form, fill it in and return to us. Good luck and happy playing.
