Tracks include Bluegrass, a french-Canadian tune, Reels, A Finnish Polka and others whose origins I don't know. I really like the music, & would like to get more Zumzeaux recordings if such exist. Anybone heard of them? (Barnes & Noble haven't) Would also appreciate recommendations for music that's similar. Eddie |

Seems the group disbanded, but they performed at the Cropredy festival in 1989, and there is a CD available for that. You might search for "Andrew Cronshaw", apparently the Leader of the band. Sorry this is all I could find. (If you want the Cropredy Festival site, post again and I will link you to it, OK?) |

Can't tell for sure if there is a CD of the festival http://www.wabe.demon.co.uk/cropredy/past.html
Andrew Cronshaw discography http://members.aol.com/cloudval/ That's about all that was worthwhile, sorry. Oh, there IS another album, called Wolf at the Door, but I only found it on the Italian site. |

16 Dec 06 - 11:26 AM (#1911046) Subject: RE: Help: Zumzeaux - Blazing Fiddles From: GUEST Hi guys, Chris Haigh was one of the fiddle players, and Netti Vandraager was in the band too. Chris Haigh now plays with the Kremlinaires, amongst others. Netti and her husband Bart tour together nowadays. Both produce music with similarities to Zumzeaux. I did a google search for Zumzeaux. Their label was "Black Pig", and there are copies of the vinyl album "Wolf at Your Door" still available in the UK. Excellent album, I have it myself and thoroughly recommend it to all. I play fiddle myself, and when I was a youngster my sister gave me this album - this record was a huge influence on me when I were a young 'un (I still love it and play it to this day). |

Andrew Cronshaw wasn't in the band, but he may have recorded the album/s? |
