"We are born at the rise of the curtain and we die with its fall, and every night in the presence of our patrons we write our new creation, and every night it is blotted out forever; and of what use is it to say to audience or to critic, 'Ah but you should have seen me last Tuesday?

Featured Artist

The Revelers

Check them out by clicking here.


Formed when founding members of two of the mightiest forces in American roots music - The Red Stick Ramblers and The Pine Leaf Boys - came together, they have unashamedly re-visited ‘50s swamp pop stylings, to fill some of the best-known dance halls of Southwest Louisiana…and emerge as new ambassadors for the music.

“a Louisiana supergroup” ....BBC World Music ...they happily look back to better times, recapturing some of the feel-good essence of the past.

"Yes! - Cajun with REAL panache." .... Bruce MacGregor BBC Radio Scotland.

In the latest UK review to appear, in this month’s Songlines magazine, Doug Loach sums things up this way:

"If you've ever been nagged by the feeling that all Cajun and zydeco music was starting to sound a bit too much like the same old thing, The Revelers will toss that notion back on your ears. This is Louisiana-bred party music sustained by the sonorous signature of its native milieu, but perked up by an injection of contemporary pop, rock and R&B"

Tangled Roots

with Eleanor Shanley, Frankie Lane, Paul Kelly, Brendan Begley & Mike Hanrahan.

The recession is now officially over. Folk the Recession is calling it a day so it must be over!. During the three years since its launch Folk the Recession has toured nationally and internationally with various combinations of Eleanor Shanley, Frankie Lane, Paul Kelly, Seamus Begley, John Spillane, Tommy Sands, Brendan Begley, Mick Hanly and Mike Hanrahan.

The most recent line up of Eleanor Shanley, Frankie Lane, Paul Kelly, Brendan Begley and Mike Hanrahan have bonded to such an extent that they have decided to bid farewell to the recession but continue together under a new name. Henceforth they will be known as Tangled Roots.  The name sits perfectly as this line-up continue to mesh together an eclectic mix of roots, folk and traditional music from around the world.
