Fri 13 Jan 2012 - (W/S 8.00pm, Band 8.50pm) - ACADIAN DRIFTWOOD File Gumbo Club, Cecil Sharp House, 2 Regent’s Park Road, London NW1 7AY 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. £10.00 £7.50C 020 7720 6580 Email: info@londoncajun.co.uk www.londoncajun.co.uk
