Founder member of R Cajun & The Zydeco Bros with a background in folk music, Arthur has gone on to perform extensively as bluesman Z.Z.Birmingham and with his family band – daughter Ursula (Weil Influenz) on fiddle, wife Penny (Carmen Piranha) harmonies and percussion and son Jake (Elmos Grandez) on bass.<\/p>\n
Forty years in the business, he\u2019s no stranger to TV, National Radio and major festivals. ZZ\u2019s engaging stage presence, compelling vocals and off-the-wall humour make for a truly unique act. Arthur discovered Druidry at OBOD\u2019s first SummerCamp (1993) and soon gained a reputation as a formidable enabler of others to blossom and shine \u2013 camp, residential event or more formal circumstances; wherever there\u2019s a call for a fund of music, story and song: in ritual, eisteddfod and round the campfire. His accessible style, and versatility insists on the music in every one of us.
