So this is Spiers & Boden in Bath. It was the last gig of their midsummer’s tour and they’ve been just fantastic!! It was great to be in the audience that night 🤩 @squeezyjohn @jonboden

Neither a box nor squeezed, but a cross between a piano accordion and a melodica, using similar technology to bagpipe drones to make something that sounds like a church organ! One of ' odder instruments - can you tell what it is?

Quick daily fix from the Squeezebox Advent Calendar - now it is time to get to Wickes for when they open to buy a rail so we can put a curtain up across the inside of our (wooden) front door to cut the draft!

The ninth from is basically a cautionary tale that you should make that "impulse" purchase when you bump into the right instrument. I suspect this sort of thing can be bad for bank balances (and possibly marriages!)...

Okay, this may be a B-system continental chromatic accordion rather than a melodeon, but it is really quite cool the way it comes apart and is a beautiful instrument to boot!

After work instead of before, the edition of the from (worth revisiting every year), a "slightly out of tune" funky thing - with *ten* spoon basses! How cool is that?

Really enjoyed today’s Melodeon Advent Capendar from John Spiers - interesting technicalities I how he attaches mics, and a great rendition of Parson’s Farewell :-)

introduces a “Proper weird thing that I don’t normally play” - day four of his is a joyous ten minutes, if you are an odd fan like me

Day three of introducing a really cool box, though it does require being able to play an style stradella bass system!
