The legendary Savoy Family Cajun Band play The Band Room, Low Mill, Farndale, near Kirkbymoorside, on Monday at 7.30pm.
“They’re the greatest traditional Cajun band in the world and for years we’ve been after them to play here,” said promoter Nigel Burnham.
“We got close when Wilson Savoy came here in 2007 with his sensational band The Pine Leaf Boys. Now, our patience has finally been rewarded with the arrival from Eunice, Louisiana, of the full stellar line-up of Marc, accordion, wife Ann, guitar, and sons Joel, fiddle and guitar, and Wilson, piano and fiddle, each one of them a superstar of the genre.
“They’ve played at Presidential inaugurations, the Newport Folk Festival, the JFK Center in Washington DC, the Queen Elizabeth Hall in London, at festivals all over North America and right round the world...so it was kind of inevitable they would one day play The Band Room!”
