The Acorn, Cajun dance night with Lafayette

🎶 Join us for a night of vibrant Cajun music and dance!

Immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of Cajun culture as Lafayette brings you a lively mix of French‑influenced vocals, infectious accordion rhythms, and energetic fiddle melodies. This ensemble celebrates centuries of folk traditions, offering a delightful repertoire of classic Cajun two‑steps, waltzes, and even some Appalachian tunes that capture Louisiana’s musical evolution.

With a team of talented musicians — Eric Lafrogne (vocals, banjo, Cajun triangle, harmonica), Hannah Sedgwick (fiddle, vocals), Elly van Veen (button accordion), and Frank van Veen (guitar/bass, bass drum, vocals) — the band has been refining their sound through numerous performances across Cornwall. Recently, they’ve joined forces with dance caller Holly Post to create unforgettable, sold-out Cajun dance evenings, reminiscent of a ceilidh but with its distinct flair!

So, lace up your dancing shoes, express your sentiments that “les Haricots sont pas salés”, and get ready to dance the night away at the Bayou with Lafayette!

🗓️ Date: October 10 17:00 - 19:00
📍 Location: The Acorn, Parade Street, Penzance, TR18 4, United Kingdom

Don't miss this joyful evening of music and dance! 🌟
