I threw a garden party around the time of the first Artweek in Oxford and had
something to do with it's inception as I had started the Oxford Artist's Group
with fine local painter, Andy Walton and others so we threw a party on
the opening day and largely played Louisiana Rock n Roll, Rhythm and Blues and, Fais Do Do
wouldn't ya know, lots of Cajun music too.
I had enjoyed Clifton Chenier thanks to John Northcote over at Sunshine records
in town and loved the sound of Zydeco which made me want
to research earlier and earlier work
