Cédric
Martin, tireless virtuoso of the diatonic accordeon, is returning
again to Stamford Arts Centre by popular demand for the 10th year.
His annual visit to England has become an eagerly anticipated New
Year fixture. Salmanazar, meaning a very large bottle of champagne,
is the latest new French dance band of Cedric Martin to visit the UK
on tour just after New Year. As well as London and Norwich they will
be playing in Stamford. The band includes two internationally
acclaimed players with Philippe Laussine on the electric hurdy-gurdy
and Sébastien Benoît on giant French bagpipes and whistles. These
are some of the best traditional musicians in France.
This
new trio of experienced musicians play very danceable and traditional
French music exploring the roots of their respective instruments and
giving them a new lively dimension - just the thing to lift the
spirits and move the limbs into the New Year! Everyone welcome, with
or without partners, as beginners will be given a gentle introduction
to the simple social and couple dances, and experienced dance
partners will always be on hand.
Cedric
has played here for many years with the duos Expire and Moussaka.
Philippe has huge international touring experience having played with
British masters of the hurdy gurdy like Cliff Stapleton and Nigel
Eaton in the past. Sebastien has also played in various bands for
many years on a range of large and small pipes and whistles.
