I was inspired by some performers recently and found them worthy to share.
The first is CALAN, a folksy group from Wales, they played a set during which they told stories about local folklore and their efforts to keep the Welsh music alive. Their lead singer also was a clog-dancing champion. They were crisp and tight live, very nice to watch and listen to. Here is an example:
Secondly, we have a rising star that was being promoted heavily in Holland and western europe last year, the Bosnian solo performer Mario Batkovic. This is a guy that could supply a new boost to a new generation of solo accordionists, as they seem to be dying out here.
