   About Bayou Gumbo
Raw rhythm, gutsy playing, anarchic attitude ... tastefully deranged vocals ... lots of fun ‘ . fRoots Magazine . Bayou Gumbo have variously followed their ears and hearts into Africa, the blues, the Caribbean, Cajun, zydeco, old-time and country music, R&B… and brought back influences, songs and styles, all feeding back into their rocksy, rootsy drive and punch. All this, mixed and served up with bellows-pumping squeezebox energy, tight and subtle fiddle-bowing, pepper-hot guitar, and a bass and drum rhythm section that kicks dancers’ feet into action, means a band that fills the dance floor. “If you don’t dance to this, you must be dead” Folk Roundabout www.bayougumbo.co.uk

I used Dave & Jay's amazing myspace layout editor.

Hi there, Guys. Just wanted to drop you a line and say that I thoroughly enjoyed your spot at the Leeds Waterfront Festival on Saturday. It was a shame I had to move on before the end of your set, but I hope to catch you again. I have got a few photos from the weekend to go through (just 950 or so), but as soon as I get a chance I'll be posting a selection on here. By then I should have my secure photo sharing sorted out and I'll be able to let you know where to go to download the high res images.

Hoping I get a chance to hear your music again soon.

Cheers,

Jan
