About these Accordionists

Throw away all your preconceptions about accordions and try booking one to perform during your event! Ideal for French and Italian weddings or events, accordionists can evoke a continental atmosphere for your guests. The accordion is a versatile instrument and can play a diverse range of music from French and Italian folk songs to Irish Polkas to popular hits from the last fifty years of pop music. Accordionists usually perform within a band environment and are a popular instrument within a ceilidh band providing music for guests whilst they dance. Accordionists have become popular in recent years for performing during themed events and are able to spice up any crowd into a jig!

When booking an accordionist for an event, make sure you are aware of the style of music you want the accordionist to perform. By booking your accordionist through an agency like the Last Minute Musicians entertainment agency you can rest assured that the musician is of a high quality and has valid public liability insurance, which is vital for any live professional musician.

Before you contact the accordionist, listen to live recordings of them performing and read their testimonials so you can better decide whether they are suitable for your event. Some accordionists will only specialise in one style of music, so if you’re looking for a mix it’s important you stress this.

To avoid disappointment, try and book your accordionist as early as possible for your event. When playing events, all professional musicians will need various technical requirements and accordionists are no different. Most require a source of power, a suitable parking space and somewhere to store belongings and possibly get changed. It’s also customary for the client to provide musicians with a meal. An accordionist will add an extra something to your event and entertain your guests like never before!
