Accordionist Paul Chamberlain will be releasing his second album tomorrow. Accordion Sensations will be launched on 1st July 2014 at the 1901 Arts Club in Waterloo and includes fantastic repertoire by Scarlatti, Weber and Zolotariev. Paul has also collaborated with the Maxwell Quartet and duets with violinist Feargus Hetherington. The album release coincides with Paul’s UK tour* which takes place from 1st July until 9th August, and will include performances in London, Newcastle and Edinburgh.

Passionate about exploring the reach of the classical accordion, Paul has previously toured in California and has also performed in Russia, Finland, Greece and Bahrain. As a consequence of his international success and critically acclaimed debut album The Classical Accordion, Paul is recognised as a leading talent on the Accordion. Having studied at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland and won the acclaimed Governor’s Prize for Keyboard he has gone on to win many national competitions and is a passionate advocate of this unusual instrument.
