It's another big dance night at the East with the Louisiana and New Orleans swing of The Red Stick Ramblers and early acoustic blues of the Ten Cent Shooters from West Australia. Get yer dancing shows on for the Ramblers and their southern swing, Cajun waltz, two steps and Zydeco high jinks, while the Shooters relive the early blues of the twenties and thirties. The blues of the Shooters is based on the recordings of the pre war era, recordings of the music which originated in the fields, the kitchens and juke joints of the rural south, unamplified and raw and remains some of the greatest recorded folk music of the last century. The sound is tight, but the loose feels and variable tempos in the style of the original performers give the 'Shooters an infectious vibe which never fails to get the dance floor jumping. Peter Woodward's precise finger style guitar, tapping foot and vocals which sound like they come from a 78 RPM record are complimented by Scott Wise's fills and solos on mandolin, national steel and harp, and Sean Diggins completely appropriate, energetic slap style double bass playing.
