Farewell Maugein

Sad news from France, with the closure of accordion makers Maugein. I was delighted with the compact chromatic button accordion they built new for me last year. Built to a high standard, and the company staff were so helpful to deal with throughout the process, coping with my schoolgirl French!

Here is my adored French box, photographed on the day it arrived in June 2023.

IFComp 2024 nearing the end

Found out when the IFComp 2024 results will be announced. In two weeks time, on a live stream on Twitch. I will be tuning in. I don't expect to rank highly, but will be happy if I improve on my showing last time I entered! Just delighted to have been able to finish another game to take part this year. And looking forward to seeing how everyone fares.

The competition itself has 10 days left to run. It's been a rewarding albeit sometimes nerve wracking experience!
