It’s that time again, time for the once a month Squeezebox Circle accordion get together. Since it now happens on the first Wednesday of each month, it’s going to be on Wednesday, Nov 6, from 7-9:PM at our their regular location: the Longhouse Church: 2595 Franklin (corner of Penticton), East Vancouver – lots of free parking!

You’re invited to come out and take part – perhaps bringing some sort of squeezebox instrument, perhaps bringing some other instrument, perhaps just coming to watch and listen.

We now crowd-source a list of songs that might get played – you can find the list of songs near the top of the Music page on their website: squeezeboxcircle.org – or feel free to share other songs from that Music page, or something of your own. (If you want folks to play along on something new, it’s helpful to bring copies to pass out – and maybe share a digital copy for us to add to the Music page).

Note that the Circle is free to attend – though donations are gratefully accepted at the end of the evening.

While you’re looking at the 900+ songs on their website’s Music page, you may also want to take a look at the Calendar page, where you’ll see events around Vancouver that include accordions. It promises to be a busy month with the following events:
