| I am an accordionist, entertainer and instructor with over 40 years experience. As a youngster, I joined and performed with an accordion band, The Junior Accordionaires. As a band we played to a variety of audiences throughout the length and breadth of the UK. We also performed for a Yorkshire television programme called Junior Showtime. I have since formed and played in two accordion show bands - The DMD Accordion Show band and The Tropical Waves. These show bands performed within West Yorkshire at a number of venues, which included Residential and Nursing homes, fetes, hospitals, psychiatric units and clubs. Once I became a solo accordionist I continued to entertain within residential and nursing homes. I also used my musical talent within churches for weddings, funerals, remembrance services and outreach. I have also performed at several school assemblies and within colleges. I have performed as a street entertainer (busker) in London (UK), Halifax (West Yorkshire), and Worksop (Nottinghamshire). My first 'public' busking performance in Woodstock Ontario, was outside Foodland/Zellers, thereby raising money for the College Avenue Secondary School gym floor replacemant campaign. I would like the opportunity to entertain you. Many of the songs and tunes I play are unforgettable hits, that have been performed and recorded by many different stylists, both vocal and instrumental, and by different types of orchestras, from swing to symphonic. I include only a few contemporary songs within my show. The reason for that is that many recent songs do not translate comfortably to a solo accordion. Their complex rhythms and bass guitar lines cannot be duplicated, and the electronic effects that can be produced on a recording cannot be approximated. All the songs and tunes that I play stand on their own as melodies. The songs and tunes that I include within my show have endured, and will continue to endure. In depth articles appeared in the Woodstock Complete Market Exposure and sentinel Review newspapers. The content may be accessed through this website. I had the privilege to appear and perform on a Roger's television programme, 'Daytime', introduced by Tracey Andrus and Brad Janssen. The following quote was made by Brad Janssen at the close of this programme, "(Ian) is certainly a craftsman with the accordion." Ian Robinson performs on the Breakfast Club - Heart FM radio programme with Don Martin and Alex Servinis. "Ian dropped by with his accordion to entertain and give Alex a lesson or two....she won't be giving up her day job." Allow Accordion Maestro to treat you to a musical experience that will remain a lasting memory. |
