Then there's Greg Stephens and the Boat Band in Stoke(oh,that's me). Then there's Elvis Fontenot and the Sugar Bees(also Stoke). Make cpntact, see what turns up. |

Although brought up with trad jazz/blues/folk, I'm keen to get involved in Cajun/zydeco as a pecussionist/washboard player. My email is tony-q@tiscali.co.uk if anyone knows of an opening. |

Not the washboard, but I am a good Cajon (or Cahon) player,and have recently bought a Schlagwerk "2-in-1" with add-ons ( Heck-stick and Side-kick) and would LOVE to play in a band like that.....something I have wanted to do since watching some very good dancers swinging to the Flatville Aces at the New Forest Arts Centre a few years back ! PS--I live in Oxon/ Bucks area !! |
