John Kirkpatrick

With a thorough understanding of folk traditions and a virtuosic mastery as an instrumentalist, John Kirkpatrick has risen to the top echelon of British folk music. A master of the button accordion, Anglo concertina, and melodeon, Kirkpatrick has balanced solo work including covers and original songs, collaborations with ex-wife and hammer dulcimer/oboe player Sue Harris, and session work with a lengthy and diverse list of artists including Richard Thompson, Pere Ubu, Steeleye Span, Tarika Sammy, Gerry Rafferty, and Loudon Wainwright III. ~ Craig Harris
