This four to six piece dance band is led by one of the UK's leading accordionists. Although not usually associated with up to date music, the accordion in this lineup is used with a midi expander module enabling the instrument to be used as a keyboard. Accompanied by bass, drums, guitar, vocals and saxophone, this band has an incredibly broad repertoire covering music from Western and Eastern Europe, and chart music from sixties to present day.
The band has played at Bar Mitzvahs, weddings, corporate functions and many other events, and clients include Antonio Carluccio, Maureen Lipman, Margaret Thatcher and Prince Charles.
