Grand Mamou - Cajun and Ceilidh Music |
||
 |
Grand Mamou formed
in 1992 when Cajun music enthusiast and accordion player
Pete Rout, guitarist John Tomlinson and multi-instrumentalist
Chris Holifield got together. All three had been part of
the Ipswich music scene for many years in bands such as
Herbal Remedies, Spit and Polish, and WYSIWYG. They soon
recruited Vicky Moss, a classically trained violinist who
grew up in the North of Ireland and the band quickly
established a solid reputation, playing a wide variety of
dance music at gigs, dances and festivals all over East
Anglia. Chris left the band in 2006 to pursue his interest in
sailing and his long term plans to sail single handed around
Alton Water. The band continue to gig as a trio. Grand Mamou are based in Ipswich, Suffolk (UK). The band's influences range from Cajun, East Anglian, Celtic and European folk to rock and jazz (mmm... nice!). To contact Grand Mamou call (01473) 784918 or (01473) 710844 |
