History of the Club
In 1990 a beginners course was held which resulted in the formation of a mixed ability and less formal group known as "The Troshers". Royston Herbert retired to Norfolk in 1992 and took over the baton until he returned to Hertfordshire for family reasons in 1999. The band benefited from his expert tuition, excellent arrangements and original compositions. The Club celebrated 25 years in 1995 with an Accordion Day when we were joined by players from several other clubs. Sarah Diggens, a student at UEA studying music with the Accordion as her main instrument took us over until she graduated. A talented accordionist she brought a great deal of enthusiasm and took the band in a new direction. ![]() Subsequently we were led by a second accomplished UEA student, Gemma Day whom we were very sorry to lose
when she started her teaching career. For more information e-mail: accordion@norwichac.co.uk. Last
