| Churches or Funeral Homes |
| I am a professional accordionist, with over 40 years experience. I have been a part of several accordion show bands, providing entertainment within a variety of settings and locations. As a solo performer I have played the accordion at a number of churches for different functions; which included praise services, communion, funerals and memorials. I use a reference from The Rev'd Neil Hogg, Vicar at St John's Church in Worksop, Nottinghamshire: "We hold Memorial Services quarterly. Music is an important part of the ministry to those recently bereaved. By playing the accordion to lead this sensitive area of ministry, Ian evoked for folk a real sense of linkage with times past....an invaluable means of making powerful connections for them at a time of open wounds yet potential closure. He has an excellent gift and made an excellent contribution". I offer this gift to be used within a church or a funeral home. |
