Karen Tweed & Nick Wiseman-Ellis

Nick Wiseman-Ellis hails from the pretty little English town of Norwich and now resides in Germany while Karen Tweed spent about 5 minutes in London, England before heading off everywhere and landing in Orkney, 59 years later which has now become her home.
Nick and Karen met in Newcastle and share a love of accordions, traditional music (where their passion coincides with Ireland and France) and creating. . . in the form of music, knitting and drawing.
Both are respected teachers, composers and arrangers; Nick now plays with IONTACH in Germany and Karen has collaborated with Timo Alakotila in May Monday, SW?P, The Poozies and top jazz accordionist Karen Street amongst many others. They are both thrilled to be performing together in small intimate venues in the UK in July and their concerts promise great merry-making and perhaps another approach to accordion music. As soloists they are celebrated for their virtuosity and musicality. Together they are wacky and mercurial, elegant and sublime and bring you memories you never realised you had. . .
