Fairytales of Montmartre

Bandcamp  -  listen/buy

Once upon a time in the streets of Montmartre the sun was shining and The Dirty Ragtimers were playing. From their violin and guitar an old melody rose into the air, heard by Alan the chevalier as he rode by in his great white truck. Suddenly transported to another era, he ferried the minstrels up the hill to his cosy Tavern Chez Camille. So began the Dirty Ragtimers’ Sunday Montmartre fairytale…

Great collection of blues, hot jazz and bewdiful originals written by Leigh Barker.

"Heather Stewart's ability to stretch phrases subtly over the bar line gives her vocals a seductive, slightly world-weary quality, and her fiddle playing contains echoes of old-time country and folk styles."   Jessica Nicholas - THE AGE

Heather M Stewart presents

Heather Stewart's career as a jazz musician is deeply influenced by early acoustic blues, country and folk music. You can hear these musical roots in the original songs and fiddle tunes of this album. Heather has won multiple awards for song writing, fiddle tunes and collaborations with world class musicians Ewen Baker, Jim Green, Andrew Baylor, Dan Dinnen, Jimi Hocking, Danny McKenna and many others. With many album collaborations, City With No Name is her second album under her own name that follows album Get Your Fingers Off It! - live multiple award winning tribute to the great women blues and country singers. This new album weaves itself further into and from that music. Mostly originals written and arranged by Heather, City with no name leaves impressions of far ranging musical experience and reaches out to touch the heart.

Album Launch @ Le Bal Blomet

The Dirty Ragtimers

Tickets for The Dirty Ragtimers' The Fairytales of Montmartre launch were sold out this December in Paris's illustrious venue Le Bal Blomet. The Bal Blomet was the place every famous or infamous person of the 1920s came to perform or to be seen. Duke Ellington, Josephine Baker, Sidney Bechet are some of the top musicians who shared this stage.

Enormous thanks to everyone who came out. Paris was in full strike mode so it wasn't easy to get there or to get home afterwards. Thanks for buying so many albums too and we hope you're loving listening!
