Accordionist Jonny

Parisian vibe

Jonny’s music creates an atmosphere similar to a 1930s Parisian café. The relaxed style makes him a perfect choice to provide background music at a wedding, café, restaurant, bar or private party with a European feel. He covers a wide Gypsy Jazz, French Musette, Bossa Nova, Tango, Italian Folk, and Classical music.

Vocals

Jonny is also a talented singer and can include songs in his performance where required. This is particularly useful for wedding ceremonies if couples wish to hear their favourite songs as they tie the knot.

Inspiration

As a teenager Jonny threw himself into playing the piano and songwriting, having grown up around music. He learnt to play the accordion at the age of 17 after discovering the music of Django Reinhardt and Tony Murena, who became his musical inspirations.

Family influence

Jonny was destined to follow in the footsteps of his musical family. His parents played in a country and western band, his grandparents played in the Salvation Army band and his great-grandfather was an accordionist. Jonny also performs in a swing/jazz band with his brothers. With musical talent clearly in his genes, you are sure to be impressed by Jonny’s performances.
