'House' star Hugh Laurie's CD Features Accordion, Los Angeles - USAby Rob Howard |
British movie and TV actor Hugh Laurie, currently starring in the popular US TV medical drama ‘House’, is also an accomplished singer and musician. On May 9th Laurie released his debut CD, 'Let Them Talk', an album of jazz and blues songs such as 'St James Infirmary', ‘After You've Gone’, and ‘It Ain't Necessarily So’. The backing band includes accordionist David Hidalgo, of ‘Los Lobos’, and there are guest spots from Tom Jones, Dr John and Irma Thomas. Laurie sings lead vocals, and plays piano and guitar on the CD – and has admitted that he might come in for some stick for billing himself as a bluesman now. "I was not born in Alabama in the 1890s," he acknowledged. "I've never eaten grits, cropped a share, or ridden a boxcar. I am a white, middle-class Englishman, openly trespassing on the music and myth of the American South." The CD is available via Hugh Laurie’s website or Amazon. |

In the post-war years Stan was a professional accordionist, and was resident at the Brook St Bier Keller, London, for 11 years in the 1960s and 70s. In the 1950s and 60s Stan Mayhew worked as an accomplished and talented accordion repairer/tuner at Hohner, Farringdon Road, London. When Hohner closed down their London base in 1964 Stan set up an accordion repair business on his own, later moving to West Sussex. In recent years Stan had trade stands at the St Audrie’s Bay and Eastbourne accordion festivals. John Leslie, who knew Stan well, said that “Stan will be sadly missed by all accordionists and friends”. |
