With a sound located somewhere between the deep south and South Wales, Zydeco Stew play the rootsiest honky-tonk, zydeco and R&B in London.
The band's upbeat, danceable set, incorporates fiddle, tin whistle, accordion, double bass and vocals, and has been delighting audiences at private and public events UK wide for the last few years. The band like nothing better than to play foot-stompin' tunes that you can dance the Texas polka to!
With a flexible line-up, they sound equally good as a duo, trio or quartet; the regular line up includes musicians who have worked alongside stars such as Van Morrison, Bob Geldof and Rolf Harris. Members of the band have provided entertainment for numerous venues and private clients including The Oxo Tower Brasserie, The King's Head Theatre, China White, The Barbican, Marco Pierre White's in Stamford Bridge, Eversheds Law Firm and fashion designer Ted Baker.
Dai plays the guitar and sings. Previously, he has written, sung and twanged for soul band Spengler and psychedelic cumbia outfit Los Chinches.
