If you are looking to create a parisian cafe vibe, welcome the away supporters for a visiting sports team or a continental ambience to a wedding drinks reception, the accordion is perfectly suited to giving the sound backdrop to your event. The accordion is a beautiful sounding instrument with its rich and varied tones and is perfect for playing French, Classical, Argentinian tango and Eastern European Folk just to name a few.
I am a Manchester based accordionist and have been enjoyed playing the accordion now for many decades. Music is a big passion of mine and equally the accordion. Growing up, at every opportunity I would play the accordion (better than homework - although I did eventually end up with a music degree so not entirely wasted!). I also have won the UK Accordion Championship on more than one occasion...
I have played in restaurants since the age of 18 and also have many years experience playing for wedding ceremonies and receptions, christmas parties, birthdays and corporate events as well as premier league football and rugby matches. I have even made a guest appearance in the channel 4 program, Shameless as well as playing the accordion at Tom Shelby’s wedding on Peaky Blinders.
If you would like to discuss your requirements or simply have any questions you would like me to answer, please do not hesitate to contact me.
