History
This 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. Every year we have an accordion meeting in last of august. Other orchestras similar to ours meets up to play and lots of people comes to dance and have fun. Older people mostly of course. This music does’nt appeal to young generation. Well, there is a few perhaps but not as many as we would like it to be. 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 and financial chef mrs Siv Seth that keeps the wheels running. Without them this orchestra would not exist. Not in this form anyway. You’ll meet them again under ‘contact us’.
