Bir

Biréli Lagrène was born on September 4, 1966, in Soufflenheim, (Bas-Rhin) in a traditional gypsy family and community. He started playing the guitar at the age of four. When, at the age of eight, he covered Django Reinhardt’s repertoire, his relatives were already calling him a child prodigy. Winning a gypsy music festival (in Strasbourg) at the age of twelve gave him the opportunity to tour in Germany and, later, to record his live performance on the double LP Route to Django.

The Poozies

The Poozies began their career in 1990 after Patsy Seddon and Mary Macmaster, aka the Scottish harp duo, Sìleas, had been working with singer Sally Barker on a solo album. They all agreed that a new women's group was a good idea and when Sally met the all-Ireland accordion champion, Karen Tweed, at the Hong Kong Folk Festival, the band was born. During the last 10 or so years, the band has enjoyed great success wherever they have travelled, due largely to the spirit of joy in their music which is at their core, whatever changes are on the surface.
