Mmm, Sweden's Garmarna play lots 'n lots of hurdy-gurdy, inna folk-rockin'-folkin' live context ...Depends what one'd call "electric hurdy-gurdy", I guess :-/

meaning, a hurdy gurdy that you plug in when you play it.

Well YEAH! Garmarna's guys - sometimes two 0'them at once - plug in their gurdy's, like, *totally*! :)

Lots of their Hildegard von Bingen covers (amongst lotsa other stuff) are tops, too!
I've seen them live just twice. The first time was years ago at a festival in Tallinn, where they played pretty much a blinder. Complete with the two-hurdy-axmen-rockin-the-frontstage stance and 'rything.
The second time was last year in my hometown. I took both my kids to the gig, and'vrything, alas that gig wasn't very good at all.

Sting sometimes plays him a mean hurdy-gurdy.

But only on special occasions.
