He has appeared on TV, the big screen and worked on theatre productions.

Accordionist Paul Hutchinson founded the celebrated dance band Old Pull and Push and has performed at many of the UK’s top folk festivals.

He has played with the acclaimed country rock band Ida Red and is currently a member of the ceilidh band Cwm Dancing and the Celtic and jazz band Hoover the Dog, along with Belshazzar’s Feast.
