Jim McAllister on Accordions
Liam Logan meets up with Jim McAllister from Derrykeighan, near Ballymoney, who has been interested in accordions since the 1950s.
Jim鈥檚 interest began when he was asked to repair electronic accordions: he started going to Italy where 99% of all accordions are made to train in electronics and accordion software and manufacture.
Now he has an international reputation for repair and maintenance of the instruments and has fixed the accordions of many famous musicians. (Broadcast: 02/10/2005)
