Solo Career
As well as playing in various bands, Michelle has performed at many venues as a solo accordion player. She spent many years on Folkestone Band Stand with guest musicians raising money for local charities.

She worked for Hohner Accordions in London teaching and demonstrating accordions. During this time she was involved with a local charity called the ‘Canterbury Oast Trust’ and helped teach handicapped children to play instruments. She still keeps in touch with a lot of the people that she has taught.

She has been involved in writing backing tracks and music for singers and still arranges music for people either as audio tracks or midi files.

Michelle has spent a lot of time recording work for herself or for other people and has a deep understanding of sound production.
