The piano accordion is an instrument associated, in England, mainly with the revival of traditional music in the 20th century. There are other types of accordion that are more closely linked to traditional players, these include, for example, the concertina, melodeon and button accordion.

The following list of players are of particular interest because of their connections with a local tradition:

Jason Rice (links with Bob Cann in Dartmoor)

John Graham (links with William Kimber in Headington, Oxon)

others!


In addition the following players could be considered to be driving the development of 21st century traditions as they are performers, teachers and recording artists of note:

Karen Tweed

Paul Hutchinson

Becky Price

Sam Pirt
