Josh Middleton
I am an accordionist, multi-instrumentalist and composer based in London. As a professional accordionist I specialise in traditional music styles such as Klezmer, British and East European Folk styles. I have been performing music professionally since the age of 14, graduated from the School of Oriental and African Studies with a first class degree in Ethnomusicology, and have since been working as a freelance musician while studying both Klezmer and Bulgarian music, the latter at the Academy of Music, Dance and Fine Arts, Plovdiv.
I also work as a composer on the Puppet Theatre Barge writing music for Puppet Theatre. I enjoy working traditional/folk sounds into theatre music, working with musicians from different genres.
