Finnish accordion adventurist, Kimmo Pohjonen, has been likened to Jimi Hendrix, Laurie Andersen and even Batman, and there's no doubt his style of accordion playing is unlike any other. Kimmo's latest project is an innovative and unique performance experience called Accordion Wrestling, featuring music, film and ten choreographed Olympic champion wrestlers, on a specially designed amplified wrestling mat. The show makes its UK première at the RNCM on the 6 June. Kimmo’s career has spanned a remarkable thirty five years, revealing a story of creative independence and the importance of finding your own path in life and art. A documentary film called Soundbreaker, looking at Kimmo's extraordinary work, won the 'Award for Creativity' at the FIA Awards in Montreal.
