I have been entertaining people with the accordion since I was about 14, and professionally since I was 21. However, it is only relatively recently that I have invested in a 'Virtual Accordion' that can sound like any instrument up to a full orchestra, and I have advertised as 'Accordion Magic'. Life has been busy with my trio 'Two Dots & A Dash' but I have been available for a few gigs, playing twice at Cheddar Court, Cheddar and recently at Westlands Social Club, where they have booked me for a number of times in 2013. I entertain with a number of different accordions, but also enjoy taking along various guest artists. These have included a singer and a tenor sax player.

Repertoire

Fairly wide and varied, including.....
Accordion solos
French Musettes
Tangos and other Latin American music
Songs through the decades with emphasis on the 50's onwards
