Welcome to the official John Kirkpatrick website

Live shows are picking up at last! Please check these out at the venues listed under Forthcoming Gigs. It’s great to be back and seeing people face-to-face again.

I am still offering online lessons on Anglo concertina, single row and two row melodeons, button accordion, accordion left hand, or song accompaniments, via Zoom or Skype. See the new lessons page for more information.

Or if you just have an irresistible urge to make a random donation, that would be wonderful and greatly appreciated. You can donate at PayPal.me/johnkirkpatrick47.
