| ITV.com News reports on 16th May including the two videos above: A Lithuanian accordion player who covers Lady Gaga has landed a major record deal in the UK. Twenty-two-year-old Martynas Levickis, a world champion virtuoso accordion player, and graduate of London's Royal Academy of Music, has landed a classical deal. The Lithuania's Got Talent winner said he aims to bring the keyboard to a wider audience, as the first accordion player to be signed by Decca Classics. His album, which will be released this summer, includes classical standards such as Air On A G String, Hungarian Dance and Rondo Alla Turca, as well as Lady Gaga's chart-topper Telephone. Levickis' talent was developed after his godfather gave him a tiny accordion as a child in his native Lithuania. He studied with one of his country's leading teachers at the Saulius Sondeckis Music School before graduating from London's Royal Academy of Music. He said: "I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work with Decca and bring the accordion to an ever larger audience." Paul Moseley, managing director of Decca Classics, said: "Martynas is the master of an instrument lodged deep in most of our musical memories. His mission is to bring the accordion back into the mainstream where it belongs. His unstuffy virtuosity and showmanship are the advocacy this wonderful instrument needs and Decca is delighted to be breaking boundaries with him." |

The intrepid Domenic has for years performed on the Toronto subways, and his specialized interest in Beatles music marks him out among accordionists. He has his own website, makes recordings, and is still very active. Accordion Beatles on CBC Radio One – Canada Domenic 'the Accordion Beatles guy' Amatucci appeared live on the Metro Morning show with host Andy Barrie on May 13th. Domenic performed ‘In My Life’ by the Beatles, his own composition ‘Wee Wool Cat’, and ‘Here, There and Everywhere’ (Beatles). He was also interviewed in between his musical performances. Andy Barrie asked questions regarding busking in Toronto's subways, which songs were most popular (‘Imagine’ and the ‘Titanic’ theme) and why some people were annoyed by buskers. They also discussed reasons why the accordion declined in popularity during the 1960s in North America and why it's becoming popular again.
