The artists say:
" We get as much pleasure playing in concert as playing in a Fest-noz :
The interaction with the audience adds to our musical inspiration even if it is very different from one place to another. This is why we have chosen to do a live recording in two places that we love….
We chose Belfast because it is city where we have played very often.. The traditional music sector has known us for a long time and follows with interest our musical journey. At the end of the twentieth century, Irish music influenced the styles of certain breton musicians and we think that this natural process can contribute to heighten the interpretation of Breton music… even if our main concern is to develop the richest and most contrasted aspects of both types of music, as there are of course many differences between Gaelic music and Breton music which you will hear in the track recorded at the little fest-deiz in Coatreven, at the end of the album.

The vigorous and astonishing diversity of these two musical cultures is inspiring, their determination not to disappear commands respect and we wanted to pay homage to both. This album will explain the rest, and the non "Celtic" pieces will also tell you something about our travels … "

Please note!
Most CDs have been imported from Europe or Asia. They are not all shrink-wrapped, and I am not going to con you by wrapping them here just to make you think they have been sterilized in America. We guarantee that the CDs and the contents are all brand new and in perfect condition. Whenever I can, I use recycled shipping materials. They may not look as pretty on the outside, but they save money and keep the trash dumps a little bit emptier.
