Islington Folk Club, www.islingtonfolkclub.co.uk/ifc.html.

Country: Britain & Belgium. Style: Traditional French (& some English).

Lineup: Dave Shepherd (violin), Simon Gielen (accordion) and guest: Nigel Eaton (hurdy gurdy).

This new duo brings together Dave Shepherd (Blowzabella) from Yorkshire, and Simon Gielen (Balbuzar, La Bande à Pilarts, Duo Sionneau / Gielen) from Hannut in Wallonia. For their second set they were joined by Nigel Eaton (also once of Blowzabella) from Hampshire. They played tunes (mostly bourrées, waltzes and schottisches,and a few English Country Dance ones) by each of them, by Jon Swayne and Andy Cutting, and some traditiomal tunes from Centre and Western France and from Brittany. In the past I've taken photos of Shepherd with Blowzabella, a duo with Anna Pack, and guesting with Maubuissons (to view click on his name under my Tags).
