I am a British accordionist. I write and perform vocal and instrumental pop music using only my accordion. No other instruments. Other instruments are bad. Accordions are good. Mmm, accordions.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
I am in a band called and we gig frequently in the UK and abroad. I also appear regularly on the London live comedy circuit performing accordion versions of pop hits.
Your musical influences
My accordion heroes include Yann Tiersen, The Tiger Lillies, Benjamin Ickies and Astor Piazzolla. Other influences come from the great Russian classical composers like Prokofiev and Shostakovich, the wonderful Kurt Weill, and from the film music of Bernard Herrmann and Danny Elfman.
What equipment do you use?
I play a 72-bass piano accordion made by a Czech company called Delicia. It's by no means the finest accordion in the world but it works for me.
