What makes a hard-working, award-winning melodeon legend? How do you turn a terrible idea into a musical triumph without falling out with other people? And what's the strategy for remembering SEVEN current repertoires at once?!
Andy Cutting is an internationally renknowned diatonic accordion player from England. He works extensively across genres (and borders) in duos, trios and bigger line ups as a dance musician, session player, & accompanist. His current bands include Blowzabella, Topette!, Leveret, Niepold:Cutting, Gudrun Walther & Andy Cutting, and Martin Simpson's band. Join me this month as I sit down in conversation with him to chat about his long career in folk music and beyond, how he works with other people, and how he has become internationally recognised his characteristic sound and style.
