"ZigaZag! showed how traditional Cajun music is
played...Carol Wilson at the drums and singing with her beautiful
voice. Simon Hopkins setting the rhythm with his guitar for Phil
Underwood and Jim Beard (with no beard) to play their solos. Phil and
Jim
are almost like Dennis McGee and IryLe Jeune reborn. Their set
includes titles like Cowboy waltz by Dennis McGee, Chere ici,
chere la bas by Canray Fontenot and Les Cajuns et les Anglais by
Phil Underwood. Johnny peut pas danser finished their set with
everyone dancing and shouting for an encore. "

ZigaZag! Cajun Band play a lively mixture of Cajun and Creole style numbers for dancing or just for listening to. We are a friendly bunch who believe in creating a good atmosphere as well as playing great dance music. We are regular visitors to Louisiana where we have many friends among the Cajun community. Music from our award winning CD Desperately Seeking Boudin is currently featured on Louisiana Radio and has been played on BBC Radio 1. Please feel free to browse the rest of our site. You are also welcome to call to go on our mailing list for our newsletter, or to request an information pack and demo.
Our band is acclaimed across continents - including Louisiana, the home of Cajun music - as playing some the finest Cajun music around.
We play for dance clubs, festivals, weddings, corporate events, private parties, in fact anything anywhere in Britain, Europe, Louisiana or the world. We offer Cajun dance workshops too.
