	Friday 19th June 2009 NOT the 1st Friday !!!!   SARAH SAVOY & the Francadians Louisiana born and bred Sarah and her French group were our biggest discovery of 2008. It's great to have them back! Tickets £12.50 (con. £10.00) Louisiana-born and raised daughter of Marc and Ann Savoy (Savoy Doucet Cajun Band) and sister of Wilson Savoy (Pineleaf Boys) Sarah powerfully fronts this band of dedicated French musicians. With the Francadians, Sarah performs traditional Cajun and Zydeco music, reaching back as far as the earliest roots of Louisiana music with covers of Amedee Ardoin, Joe and Cleoma Falcon, and Iry LeJeune, among others. Keeping her audiences dancing, Sarah belts out sassy blues, growls through honky-tonk-inspired Cajun songs of the 1940’s and 50’s, and wails the bitterness of some of Cajun music’s most forlorn waltzes. But Sarah doesn't just perform traditional Cajun and Zydeco music - her own original compositions speak with a voice until now virtually unheard in Cajun music. Sarah sings in celebration of the modern woman, strong, independent, and fun-loving.  “ I’m trying to bring back that mix of hillbilly and country with Cajun music like Lawrence Walker and Belton Richard were doing,” she says. “Cleoma Falcon, one of the greats from the early days, wrote a lot of ‘new’ Cajun songs by simply translating poular country songs of the day. With my album and my band I’m trying to give Cajun music a more ‘powerful-independent-party-girl-so-watch-out!’ kinda voice.” So you heard her. Watch out!
