Virtuoso Accordionist ex champion of England and Switzerland, he placed 5th at the Coupe Mondiale in 1999. He started playing at 4 years old and comes from the most well known accordion family in England. He was the first ever accordionist to be accepted into the Purcell school of music and continues to amaze with his fine balance of technique, musicality and stage presence. At an International level he is one of the finest young performers I have had the pleasure and thrill of hearing.

Sautez ‘tit Filles – cajun accordion – Johnson Boys

admin — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 12:09:15 +0000

Back in the US civil war the warmakers, as their kind always does, used the help of local ruthless criminals to terrorize and suppress the local population. Jayhawkers they’re called sometimes. Ozeme Carriere, a Creole bandit turned scout was such an illustrious feller in Louisiana, recruited by a captain in the rebel army … this song & similar storyline came to be inspired by “Johnson Boys”, a traditional old time country song & tune. Thanks, Pauline Groenendijk, from the Cajun Company and Dowell Lafleur for your help with the lyrics:

Sautez ‘tit Filles © Artspurg 2008 SABAM

Ozeme Carriere il amait la femme
Aimé toutes les jolies filles
Il a vie une vie rapide
Jusqu’aux jours d’ la guerre civile

chorus:
Sautez ‘tit filles, ayez pas peur (2x)

Il était un bougre méchant
En effet un grand vaurien
Voleur de tout dedans le monde
Et empêché par un capitaine

Ozeme s’est rasembler une bande
Pour éviter d’être attraper
Comme d’éclaireurs de l’armée rebelle
Ils ont volé bien plus dans le comté

Ozeme a eu un bon Carriere
Jusqu’à sa dernière heure
Ils l’ont donné ça qui lui revient
Sautez ‘tit filles, ayez pas peur.
