Artist description We play celtic music, especially from Brittany (Bretagne in French, Breizh in Breton). There are 2 main trends that we try to let people discover: dance tunes on which people dance during traditionnal fests that we call "Festou-Noz" (also from Ireland, Scotland and Wales), gwerziou (kind of breton complaint, like "fado" or "blues"). We use only acoustic instruments. We have played in different places: churches, sport hall and of course "Festou-Noz" hall... We have played in Poland and Czech Republic in October 2000. We are planning to go and play in Italy and Canada... Our new CD "Digorit An Nor" is going to be released!!
