Full Biography
Highlights
* Accordion soloist with a wealth of experience!
* Repertoire includes a mixture of musette, Italian, Oompah, tango, klezmer & eastern European tunes!
Accordion soloist Coeur Vagabond plays a mixture of musette, Oompah, tango, Italian and eastern European and klezmer tunes, and has been entertaining at weddings, garden fetes, birthday parties and corporate events for many years.
His musical training began at the tender age of 5, on the piano. Later in life, living on a small canal boat, he missed his piano, but found a battered old accordion at a stall in Halifax market. It set him on a long journey. After some years of teaching himself, he was taught by Yorkshire based Nigel Waterhouse, one of the finest accordionists in the UK.
The canal boat is now gone, as Coeur Vagabond has married and settled down in a house in Bristol. His little car gets him to gigs a lot faster than the little boat ever could.
His earliest repertoire was mainly klezmer, his tunes gleaned from an inspired collection of musicians, jewish fiddlers, accordionists and singers that met in a local Heptonstall pub. He took this music from town to town as he traveled the country, embellishing the tunes with his own improvisations.
Later, inspired by the golden age of musette from the 1930’s, he learned a large repertoire of tunes from such greats as Gus Viseur and Jo Privat, who played at the height of the bal musette scene in Paris.

Lovely atmospheric addition to our event
Hannah D booked Coeur Vagabond for their event in Gloucestershire • July 2023
“John was very contentious and professional, and played beautifully.”
Set the perfect ambience for an amazing afternoon
Sarah B booked Coeur Vagabond for their Wedding in Bristol
“We left our wedding service with Coeur Vagabond playing Edith Piaf, La Foule whilst friends were literally exploding confetti over us - it was totally brilliant. He played beautiful music that was at the perfect level and just made a wonderful atmosphere for chatting and meeting people. Coeur Vagabond was immaculately dressed, friendly but very professional. We had spoken a few times over the phone before our wedding day to talk about the music and timings. After that he dealt with the venue directly and we didn't need to do anything on the day, he just got on with it.”
Drinks reception at Royal Albert Hall
Royal A booked Coeur Vagabond for their event
“We were happy to engage Coeur Vagabond for a private reception at the Royal Albert Hall in January 2018. On the night, Café Maestro was on time and looked great with his quirky style, which was perfect for our event. He played a one hour long set, as guests enjoyed a cocktail reception, however, was never intrusive. His choice of music and volume level were perfect for the area and setting. Many of our guests commented on his contribution to the evening and we will certainly welcome John Slater back to the Hall on another occasion. Thank you, Sian Cappucci Philanthropy Events Executive”
He was thoroughly professional and very accommodating.
