Cheers to everyone who have been sending us recommendations of accordion tunes over the last week or so on Twitter coinciding with our two WELK transmissions.

Thanks to CatfaceMcMeowMeow for sending us two tunes, the first from Patrick Wolf called Pigeon Song. This isn’t a million miles away from us here at SE23 as it seems he may be from the parish of Brixton. Good tune!

And we love this one from Red Elvises called Memoirs of a Phuket Geisha. Brilliant! Thanks CatfaceMcMeowMeow!

Steve Barker from the great On The Wire radio show played a track off this LP by Pauline Oliveros the other week. Great cover by the way and what a smart accordion!

And also thanks to Mark Paytress for suggesting these two which contain some serious squeezebox. The first is from Melanie called In The Hour which features some nice bass playing too.

And also this one Back Street Girl from The Rolling Stones. Cheers Mark!

And this tickled us the other day, an example of that well-know thing Air Accordion, brilliant stuff and we love his smile!

And there’s even a bit of squeezebox in this one from Rod Taylor called Lucifer.

Last night’s transmission of WELK 2 is now online below featuring all sorts of squeezebox tunes and includes One Deck Pete‘s “More squeezeboxes on shortwave” mix at 20.58 featuring tunes from Ellis Island Sound, Nijim, Danijel Zambo, Yanga and Dubskrollz.
