Lil Roosters are the fiery heart of the international band ‘The Cajun Roosters’ with Chris Hall on accordion/vocals and Hazel Scott on guitar/vocals.
Chris Hall (Cajun and Zydeco accordion, vocals, scrubboard, triangle) (UK)
Since the 70’s Louisiana accordion boss man Chris Hall, living in Derby/UK, has become widely known through his work with R.Cajun & the Zydeco Brothers, The Bearcats, Zydecomotion and US/UK band Breaux. His reputation is such that he was called on by ex Rolling Stone Bill Wyman to play on his album and was also part of the band put together by ex Beatle Sir Paul McCartney to record his “Run Devil Run” album. He was also called in by Kate Bush to contribute to her last album. His company Swampmusic is responsible for many tours and concerts of Louisiana artists in Europe and through its work he has spent many hours on the road with guys like Steve Riley, John Delafose, Randy Vidrine, Mitch Reed, Geno Delafose, Sean Ardoin, and Sean Vidrine absorbing their DNA through musical osmosis. He has a huge knowledge of C/Z which he put to good use on his own radio series on BBC Radio 2 and has been playing the music for almost 30 years with bands in Europe and with fellow musicians from Louisiana. With the Cajun Roosters he fronts a powerhouse band on vocals, Cajun accordion, triple row Zydeco accordion and occasional fiddle, all learnt from the masters at first hand.
Hazel Scott (vocals, guitar) (Scotland)
Hazel Scott’s rhythm guitar, although learnt first hand from the Louisiana masters like Randy Vidrine, has developed into her own style which is both powerful and driving. But its her vocals that make her a world class addition to the Rooster sound. Described by highly respected musicians in Louisiana as “awesome” “right on the money” and “the business” she has rapidly gained a reputation as one of the most authentic Cajun vocalists around. And since Cajun music is her first love she’s undeniably in the right place up on stage with The Cajun Roosters. With the addition of Hazel Scott the band have a secret weapon that raiseed the bar for Cajun bands this side of the Atlantic.
