Adrienne Griffiths
20th January 1948 – 5th September 2016
We are all saddened by the news that Adrienne
has passed away
She will be sadly missed by all her family and many friends in the accordion world.
She travelled to attend our club when she could.
She had many achievements. One was starting the South Hampshire Accordion Club.
Many years ago she had a Strict Tempo Dance Group. Also French Mussette and Folk groups.
Adrienne also taught the accordion and ran workshops at St Audries Bay. She also played with the Crawley Accordion Orchestra.
She was a great supporter of Accordion festivals and events, often travelling great distances to help and support people wherever she could.
Adrienne was a leading figure in the accordion world respected and admired by everyone who knew her, both for her musical knowledge and her talent playing the accordion.
On behalf of the Guildford Accordion Club we offer our sincere condolences to her family and friends. May she rest in peace.
