What’s Accordion Noir?
www.AccordionNoir.org probably brought you here, “Welcome!”
The online universe of Accordion Noir (Vancouver BC’s premier accordion radio program) continues to evolve, here’s the current status (as of 2013):
Listen to and subscribe to the Accordion Noir radio-show podcast for weekly (more or less) episodes of squeeze-centricity.
Check out the first six years of Accordion Noir‘s back-catalogue on our creaky old site.
Read Bruce’s Accordion Uprising blog while awaiting the accordion history book he is writing.
The Accordion Noir Festival site for information on the annual Accordion Noir Society’s Festival of extreme accordion.
The Vancouver Squeezebox Circle site for all your Vancouver, BC, Canada accordion needs (except a local accordion shop, sigh.)
Vancouver Co-Op Radio, Accordion Noir’s terrestrial home (CFRO 100.5 FM). Where we do our real-live radio show in Vancouver before it gets magically transmitted around the world.
and for the truly historically minded:
The remains of our original Myspace presence!
Thanks for keeping alive! Found your podcasts on itunes – (accordion noir radio) fun, amazing, precious and beautiful stuff! Cheers!!!
Hi, looking to find out more about an old Meinel & Herold accordion we have…..any suggestions?
I’m not sure I know any more than what’s here. It’s notoriously difficult to track information about the thousands of old companies that made accordions. Can’t some of the authors of the 50,000 books on guitars take some time off for other instruments?
You might ask at this active UK forum filled with knowledgeable folks: http://www.accordionists.co.uk/portal.php
Cheers!
