17th August 2018 at the Green Note, London NW1..
Country: United States. Style: Traditional American Folk - Old Time & other American 1920-30s styles (e.g. Ragtime).
Lineup: Aaron Jonah Lewis (v/fiddle/banjo/g), Lindsay McCaw (v/g/fiddle/dance), Ben Belcher (banjo/g/fiddle/v).
I took photos of this group in 2014 (

Those I had seen before with Anna or Elizabeth had scenes illustrating the song being performed. This one accompanied a tune and was more abstract - mostly consisting of critters eating and being eaten by each other.
