- Summary:
-
Each year in October, a small country town hosts the only accordion festival in Australia. The accordion was a fixture of the common people of the 19th and 20th century and many genres of accordion music thrived in the home, at social gatherings, at dances, in theatres and in town halls, when this free-reed instrument was invented. The accordion has a special niche in the hearts and minds of the older generation and the Maclagan Squeezebox Festival keeps the accordion music and dance traditions alive. This anthology of stories by those who love and play accordion music is about the transformative powers of the Maclagan Squeezebox Festival in bringing back the emotional binds to the brain of music heard in dance halls of decades past. The Squeezebox Festival is a winner for the Maclagan community and is cemented firmly in the yearly plans of most visitors. This festival truly embodies what our small rural communities are all about - resilience, friendship and having as much fun as possible!
