Presentation
Here you will find out something about us that perhaps will increase your interests of both us and accordion music in general. We are in present day eight musicians that plays for the fun of it. We have our place in Bjuv, a small community in south of Sweden. Our setup is four accordionplayer, two guitar bass and drums.
Our material is a mixture of different style from tango to rock'n roll. Sorry to say, accordion music is today nothing that the younger generation listen to or play. This days it's only modern music that applies to the youngsters. But we do hope that it will come back again in a near future. It is a very beautiful instrument that has it’s place in most categories. I my self plays both guitar and drums but did grow up with the accordion in my home. Both my father and my grandfather did play it. Now it's the older generation that carry the tradition forward. But it would be nice to see the younger generation pick it up again. Now, look around and enjoy and hope that you'll find it interesting.

HistoryThis history begins back in 1983 when mr Inge-Thore Rörstrand and Mr Nils Lindquist starts an accordion orchestra, ‘Bjuvs Dragspelsklubb’ or in english, ‘Bjuvs accordion orchestra’. They are not longer with the orchestra but we do thank them for their efforts. Our facilities back then were in a club house for school youth. Later on we got to practice in ‘Bjuvs marching corps’ facilities, where we still have our place. We practise every tuesday evening between seven and nine thirty. You’ll see us under ‘members’. Musicians have come and gone through the years but never so much that we have had to close down the orchestra. We have always managed. We have performed in several institutions like sick homes, service homes, club houses, festivals, dance arenas and so on. Up to this date it is our chairman mrs Ingrid Karlsson that keeps the wheels running. Without her this orchestra would not exist. Not in this form anyway. You’ll meet them again under ‘contact us’. |
