February saw the Stringbusters getting back to their roots and doing a couple of private gigs but with Andy Baylor and his Cajun Combo coming up at the pub every chance to catch up was a chance to practice. We had spoken to Andy a couple of months prior and his enthusiasm was clear, “The Hoe Down Showdown” was on, the posters he produced were evidence of this and it looked like a good night was in the making. 
It didn’t disappoint with the Cajun sound ringing through the community hotel for probably the first time, the crowd warmed to it very quickly and with Andy on song everyone had a blast, Andy joined the Busters for a couple in the last set and our ulterior motive was once again discovered, Andy’s fiddle and mandolin were fantastic showing this man’s versatility no matter what style it is.
