KV Express
From Belgium travels KV Express - a trio centred on the band's founder Sophie Cavez, who is one of Belgium's most prolific accordion-players. Together with Cedric Waterschoot on bass guitar and Michel Seba on percussion, they create a fresh sound combining folk, jazz and rock mixed with many traditional world styles, particularly from the southern parts of the European and American Continents.
Featuring many of Sophie’s own compositions, KV Express have released two albums to date – LUNA in 2007 and D-Sensation in 2010. Both albums deliver the KV Express slice of Belgian folk-roots music performed with punch, rhythmic variety and ease. They showcase top quality Belgian tunes for lovers of relaxing, creative and crossover acoustic music. As coined by one reviewer, KV Express play bal folk music (beautiful waltzes, polkas, schottisches) at Belgian folk festivals and clubs, which is made for dancing to but great fun to listen to as well! (Erwin Libbrecht, 2010) The Shetland Folk Festival is delighted to invite them north for their debut UK appearance.
