2011-01-01: Pleasing Squeezing revisited, with Ingrid Gatin and Fang!

Posted: December 15th, 2010 | Author: Blackbox Squeezebeard | Filed under: Show announcements and recaps | Tags: , , , , | No Comments »

Proving that some of their squeezy bills of 2010 were impossible to top, CFRO’s Accordion Noir is proud to present a repeat bill from a show they and us hosted in May, this time at the Railway Club (579 Dunsmuir Street) with the sing-along sensation Fang and Winnipeg’s squeezing siren Ingrid Gatin. Start the year off on a high note and see if we can top it in 2011!

All that plus at midnight we turn over the Railway’s stage to Gold Stars Are For Suckers, who have nothing to do with great accordion music but can still give up a good time. $10 / $8 for Railway members.
