Accordion Noir Radio

Accordion Noir Radio

"Ruthlessly pursuing the idea that the accordion is just another instrument." Join the front-lines of the Accordion Revolution, broadcasting around the world almost every Wednesday since 2006. From Punk to Piazzolla (a variety of loud rock and roll, and a famous tango composer). The most unexpected variety of squeezebox music you're likely to subscribe to today.

War: what is it good for? If I told you “great accordion music”, you wouldn’t believe me, but now you don’t have to. Either way, I’d happily do away with accordion in a heartbeat if it also brought an end to war, but sadly it doesn’t work that way. In any case, Bruce found himself […]

Bruce has… a lot of accordion music. He has so much of it that if he so cared to, he could just cruise by the “B” section of his alphabetised song library, and come up with an entire episode of our program simply by selecting a consecutive subset of all the songs in his collection […]

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 five now. And we hope to continue the tradition if we can keep gathering enough material: If you know any […]

Hey all! This week Accordion Noir co-host and podcast upload coordinator Rowan is globetrotting with his family in sunny Italy! Which we celebrate in tonight’s playlist with a set of mostly Italian tunes. (With a few “Romantic” ones by Canadians because that seemed enough of a connector.) As mentioned, this week’s first track is from […]

(That’s the half-an-accordion in the title.) I don’t believe that last night’s episode of our weekly hour-long Accordion Noir broadcast has an underlying theme beyond “varied squeezebox music”, and I think that if you asked its programmer Bruce he’d say the same thing, so all I can tell you is: enjoy an hour of free […]

Here we go again! When live music venues shut down at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, we stepped up looking for ways to financially support our favorite (squeezebox) musicians deprived of performance income — and Bandcamp’s “we waive our cut of the revenues” Bandcamp Fridays made them the most efficient way to take money […]

Relax, everybody! The world, well, the world is still in turmoil but at least we can testify that it is full of accordion music, and if you can take a moment to listen to some of it you might have a chance to enjoy a moment of cosmic connection and unity with your fellow humanity, […]

Hello, everyone! Our host Bruce was required to rearrange the contents of his apartment this week, yielding this curious playlist of squeezy tunes about moving both stuff and things.  On the one hand, accordions are heavy. (On the bright side, Bruce doesn’t have a Cordovox collection instead!) If your Apple or Android (or plain old RSS) podcast subscriptions (strongly […]

    Ruthie's Table 4

    For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
