We talk to Lil Jim - Multi Instrumentalist and self confessed 'Accordian playing six foot five Goth'! Jim traces back his unique journey from being influenced by Cajun and Zydeco music as a child then being exposed to Rock & Metal whilst as a teenager. This unusual clash of musical worlds and styles would allow Lil Jim to create his now larger than life persona which continues to enchant festival crowds all over the UK and Europe. Lil Jim shares with us tales of guest appearances with his heroes as just a young boy and taking his unique style and musical influences back to their birthplace of Louisiana, USA to give them a taste of the Lil Jim experience.
