Joe le Taxi

=Joe-le-Taxi=

British zydeco band started in 1992 by accordeonist Rees Wesson (formerly with E2). Quickly established a following as the premier band in the UK playing in the style of John Delafose and Boozoo Chavis. Changes in line-up led to loss of momentum in the late 1990s but the current line-up (since early 2001) has regained their title as "Premier UK Zydeco Band". Appeared at Bury (UK) and Ameland (Netherlands) last year and are booked for Raamsdonksveer, the most prestigious zydeco festival in Europe, in June 2004. [1]cojo
