OK, so it’s been an eventful first week of the new decade. Perhaps a little too eventful. Bruce is wondering if we can’t just press the air release valve and perhaps… take a do-over? If you’re not already a podcast subscriber on your Apple or Google device, you can listen to this week’s episode of […]

To you, it’s a new year, a new decade perhaps even! But to us, it’s just another week, another new episode of accordion radio! Of course, every episode is already an occasion for celebration, so we’re doing all right here. If you’re not yet getting your updates automatically for your Apple or Google podcast-listening devices, […]

Some years our weekly radio broadcast takes place on Christmas, and some years it does not. When it does, often other programs on the radio station schedule find they have family celebrations they need to attend to and … would it be possible for us to cover their spots? What I mean to say is […]

As we push on into the darkness, Bruce dug deep into his record crates this week to come up with a program of seasonal, solsticial squeezebox music… and as a holiday bonus, his behind-the-scenes co-host Rowan popped by to make things merry! If your Apple or Google podcast subscriptions have not already alerted you, you […]

So we skipped our anniversary broadcast last week… Bruce however remembered, and turned our skip into a “postponed one week”, which sees us celebrating 13 years on the air in this week’s episode, with some birthday songs and tunes from old friends from “back in the day”. If your Apple and Google podcast-subscribed devices haven’t […]

Our weekly radio broadcast was pre-empted this week, which is fine — we log over 50 hours per year, more than 4 episodes monthly on average, and we gave up the spot to the show that follows ours, a show that has often stepped aside to allow us to accommodate guests and go into overtime.  […]

Now that we’ve gotten through festival season, the member drive and the CFRO AGM, Bruce is free to open up and speak his mind on current events, whether they be accordion-related or otherwise. (As a squeezebox historian, if pressed, he will likely be able to come up with an accordion connection of some kind to […]

Last night we enjoyed the extraordinary pleasure of having Hildá Länsman and Viivi Maria Saarenkylä of the VILDÁ Duo join us as guests live on the air for our weekly Accordion Noir radio broadcast at CFRO, in promotion of their performance at our Accordion Noir Festival mainstage this Friday night at the WISE Hall. We […]

Fall is here, and with the turning of the seasons, if you concentrate carefully you can feel a chill breeze running through Bruce’s song selections. Wait, is that just the air moving through the bellows? Best not to overthink things. If you’re not yet hooked up to our podcast (Apple, Google Play), you can enjoy […]

Your longtime regular host Bruce Triggs has been away on a grand adventure (or at least, off the air) for over a month now, not since Joana Reis’ visit Jul 25th. You’ve all been very kindly humouring my guest hosting of the weekly Accordion Noir radio program, but we all understand it’s simply not the […]
