His hugely successful musical career has seen Harry playing for and alongside some of the biggest names in show business including:- George Chisholm, Matt Monroe, Alan Littlejohn(who once introduced Harry by saying " here is a man on the squeezebox &wireless set" referring to his amplifier), Norman Wisdom, Jack Emblow, Frank Marocco, Rolf Harris, Harry Dawson, Jimmy Skidmore, Johnny Van Derrick, Anthony Newley and Rory Blackwell (who affectionately always introduced Harry as "a refugee from the salvation army".)

Harry Hussey is probably one of the busiest and best loved accordionists in this country.
