"Yves Langlois the fiddler is your man for cajun in Kent, I think."
Sorry Greg, Yves left UK to bring up his first born in Paris.
Cant for the life or me see why, the UK being such a friendly law abiding sort of place with great school system and all.
He will be making some return trips to keep in touch with our thriving music scene, so all is not lost.
And you can do a hell of a lot worse than listening to any of the Lejeune outpourings, either Iry (the master) or Eddy (son of).
Whole world of difference between Cajun an Zydeco. But some very interesting cross-over stuff too.
Might I add Pine Leaf Boys
and if you venture into cajun country, you couldnt do better than stay at Blue Moon which is in Lafeyette, where if you are too bushed to go find the best bands, they come to YOU and play on the back porch!
Jesse Lege and Bobby Michot are also two of the finest musicians and I am proud to say, personal friends of mine. Two great guys who give of their time and friendship with no holds barred. Real cajuns :-)
