ACCORDIONIST
Will enjoys playing a variety of music on the accordion, French being one of his favourite styles. Will can perform solo or with his band which consists of accordion, guitar, double bass and drums. This provides an authentic sounding French band. Will plays the repertoire from Edith Piaf ( La Vie en Rose, Non je ne regrette rien ), Maurice Chevalier ( Gigi ), Charles Trenet ( Boum, Que reste-t-il ), and Jacques Brel ( Ne me quitte pas ). He is also performs traditional French Musette ( Rue Pigalle, La Valse des Guingettes, Dédé de Montmartre, Sous le Ciel de Paris, etc. ), This is particularly suitable for gala dinners and promotional events.
Will’s reputation for French Musette has grown over the past few years due to appearances such as the accordionist in Noel Coward’s musical ‘Bitter Sweet’ (Kings Theatre Edinburgh), guest appearance at the Monaco grand prix with Murray Walker and special guest on Chris Evan’s BBC Radio 2 show.
