Accordion Noir Radio

Yesterday was our big Rock 'n' Accordion special as the final part of Co-op Radio's spring fund drive. The broadcast was a bit sketchy with the computer crashing, but we got through it, and a polished and solid version should be up on the podcast this week for a Rock'n Historian Accordion-lovin' good time.

The First International Accordion Noir Festival, October 2nd and 3rd!

Friday, October 3rd – 9 pm - the Railway Club concert - 579 Dunsmuir at Seymour
Geoff Berner, Ami Denio, Natasha Lena the Accordion Girl, and the Creaking Planks!

Thursday, Oct 2nd – 7 pm - Spartacus Books Festival opening - 684 E. Hastings at Heatley
Live music, a fashion show catwalk (or something), and a rare Film screening of the Rockumentary about the international super-group Accordion Tribe!
Fundraiser for our radio-station and our show!

It's fundraiser time again! And in fear that people are sick of accordions, we're disguising a special episode of our show under the happy rubric of the ukulele to sneak some support we might not otherwise earn. Whoo-hoo! Should be great fun.

We are apparently one of the best online fund-raisers for our station, setting up those monthly donations really add up! That's so cool. We're proud to be able to help keep our little station that can alive.

This is where we get to say, "Please support ethical and unusual media by becoming a member of Co-op Radio," because we love you.
