Frequently asked questions


Most accordionists are self-contained and provide their own equipment which is suitable for typical situations. Even though the act generally plays acoustically, if your event is to be held in a large venue, or you have more than 300 guests, we recommend that additional sound equipment should be used. Always ask your musicians about their sound system requirements.

Each event is different but the typical performance time for accordionists is 2 x 45 minutes sets within a 2 hours period. Some acts are happy to play longer sets or additional sets. Often, breaks can be negotiated but you should be aware that the price may increase if the musicians need to be onsite for a longer period of time.

Booking accordionists as early as possible increases the chance of securing their availability on your event date, particularly during busy times of the year. However, many acts also accept last minute bookings, and we have successfully arranged performances for clients with just a few hours' notice.

You should always check whether or not your act is prepared to play outdoors. Weather conditions such as wind, rain, or extreme temperatures can affect the performance and the instruments. If you are planning an outdoor event you should be prepared to offer a flat surface for performers as well as a cover in case of unexpected rain.

The cost of hiring musicians can vary significantly depending on the type of act. The average price is currently £293. Budget-level acts may be available for as low as £50, while top-tier acts can command prices as high as £810.

About these Accordionists

Throw away all your preconceptions about accordions and try booking one to perform during your event! Ideal for French and Italian weddings or events, accordionists can evoke a continental atmosphere for your guests. The accordion is a versatile instrument and can play a diverse range of music from French and Italian folk songs to Irish Polkas to popular hits from the last fifty years of pop music. Accordionists usually perform within a band environment and are a popular instrument within a ceilidh band providing music for guests whilst they dance. Accordionists have become popular in recent years for performing during themed events and are able to spice up any crowd into a jig!

When booking an accordionist for an event, make sure you are aware of the style of music you want the accordionist to perform. By booking your accordionist through an agency like the Last Minute Musicians entertainment agency you can rest assured that the musician is of a high quality and has valid public liability insurance, which is vital for any live professional musician.

Before you contact the accordionist, listen to live recordings of them performing and read their testimonials so you can better decide whether they are suitable for your event. Some accordionists will only specialise in one style of music, so if you’re looking for a mix it’s important you stress this.

To avoid disappointment, try and book your accordionist as early as possible for your event. When playing events, all professional musicians will need various technical requirements and accordionists are no different. Most require a source of power, a suitable parking space and somewhere to store belongings and possibly get changed. It’s also customary for the client to provide musicians with a meal. An accordionist will add an extra something to your event and entertain your guests like never before!

About the Accordion

The accordion is a musical instrument in the shape of a box with bellows attach which force air through the sound holes and create a wonderful tone. It is truly an ancient instrument and has been found in various forms dating back to ancient Greece.
