ACADIAN DRIFTWOOD£10.00 (con £7.50)
Acadian Driftwood was founded by Charlie Skelton, a great fiddle player with a particular interest in Cajun music, backed by members of the Famous Potatoes. They have been making waves down on the Essex coast, and we decided it was time for their debut at File Gumbo. Great danceable music, but also listen out for their close harmonies, reminiscent of the Michot Brothers.

COLIN & the CRAWFISH£10.00 (con £7.50)
Phil Underwood has always been one of our favourite Cajun accordion players, so after most of a year spent in the States we were missing him. We were confident enough last year to book his new band unheard, and despite the name, and we were right. In fact, after a storming debut at File Gumbo and a rapturous reception at the Saulieu Festival last summer, we can't make fun of the band's name anymore! Pity really.
