He is acknowledged^{[by whom?]} as one of England’s leading exponents of the Anglo concertina and melodeon.

He is best known in the folk clubs of England, but has also taken his performances to festival and concert stages all over the world, often touring in America, Europe and Australia. He's been described in the folk press as “one of British folk music’s finest ambassadors”.^[2]

He has made many recordings, from the concertina-centred Anglophilia to the ballad-themed Songs of Trial and Triumph. He is also the melodeon player heard on the TV cartoon SpongeBob SquarePants.^{[citation needed]}
