Twin sisters Emmanuelle and Pastelle LeBlanc, from Prince Edward Island, join forces with Pascal Miousse - a direct descendant of the first colonial families to inhabit Quebec’s remote Magdalene Islands.
Tight sibling harmonies, layered foot percussion and a compelling trademark blend of fiddle, guitar, accordion, whistles, piano, bodhrán and jaw harp create an expansive sound that triumphantly defies the parameters of a trio.
Whilst all three are from a rich musical upbringing and heritage, their take on their musical traditions looks forward as much as it looks back. The Cajun tradition - spread by Acadians throughout America - mixes with Celtic and world strands, altogether redefining the possibilities of French-Canadian folk.
WHY? A live show that combines song-writing elegance with the dynamism of three experienced and truly passionate performers

Tankus the Henge - Album Tour
Tankus the Henge perform their only show in 2020 since lockdown began.
A genre bending, never ending, furious and joyous force. Normally on the road most of the time, defined by movement, groove and the search for adventure, Tankus the Henge have been making and breaking their own rules for a while now.
Originally based around the songwriting of singer/pianist Jaz Delorean and inspired by the hard graft ethics of an early 20th Century travelling show, Tankus the Henge will often play upwards of one hundred gigs a year in Europe. They have performed on stages across the world, from New Orleans to Albania, most places in between, including Glastonbury Festival, Montreux Jazz Festival, WOMAD, and countless others.
Their funk-fuelled repertoire is wildly eclectic, ranging from explosive rock riffs to New Orleans swing, and an insatiable love for a good singalong round the piano.
WHY? They will be performing their brand new album Luna Park! in full, along with other songs from their decade long repertoire
Attendees to the show will have the opportunity to purchase the new album the night before it is released. The entire performance will also be streamed in high quality.

Tankus the Henge's Website
'A virtual carnival of sound that’s high on energy and deep on soul. With copious helpings of R&B, blues, funk, disco, Django, a dose of Dexy’s, a drop of Ray Davies and a pinch of Madness… – it’s an exciting mélange of sound' The Guardian
'Tankus the Henge have a reputation for whipping crowds into a frenzy, and penning choruses it’s impossible not to sing along to' Metro (top 10 acts to see at Glastonbury)
'That’s wonderful, ..I love that. It reminds me of a mixture of early Kinks, Squeeze and a bit of Blur mashed in. His voice is his own, …so great. I love it' (Smiling Makes The Day Go Quicker) Dave Davies, The Kinks
'Like The Clash from New Orleans' Nikolaj Torp Larsen, The Specials
