After all my big promo I realized I had the wrong audio file attached in the podcast so if you went to listen to our spectacular #drone #accordion special, you would’ve got a previous episode

Fixed now so do please offer it to your ears:
Accordion Noir radio playlist 2025-10-29: Squeeze into the Long Nights (Drone Accordion V)
Long time coming gathering works for another episode of drone, experimental and noisy squeezebox to stretch your listening ears! This is a fine set of tones indeed as we did four years in the past …

There could be books on every member of that Figgy Duff

Not sure they’d all want anything to do with that though! 😅

Trying to get out my vision of “what was happening with the accordion”, can obscure the labour and lives of the artists who were there when the accordions weren’t playing, or who did the work to make the scene happen, or were — frankly — more important than the accordion player sometimes

Great article! Thank you!
Figgy Duff were really interesting to read and write about in my #AccordionRevolution book. I’m pretty sure I didn’t do them justice in my urge to tell my story of folk music accordion trends

Like most Canadian bands they haven’t gotten enough attention

Separated from our place in Gastown by a few hundred meters because everywhere East of the Sea Bus remains dedicated to industrial use / which left #DTES residents to fight for Crab Park 🦀 and it being Bob Mosesed–off from the rest of the Sea Wall all these years
