Music that crosses boundaries...

...was very much on the agenda tonight. We began with Amadou Diagne from Senegal with a beautiful album featuring some fine West Country musicians and produced by Gris Sanderson from Totnes. We then went on to play a bluesy rocky track with definite African influences by superb Australian and US musicians Dirtmusic. There were plenty of other examples which followed this pattern too.
