Show 282 – Brittany
(2023-08-19)

posted in: Past Shows

This week, Katie Marie and Joe take a musical journey to Brittany, a Celtic region of France with a distinct and unique musical heritage. Joe also had the good fortune of catching John Skelton, the flute and bombarde player with the House Band to discuss the music of Brittany and playing the bombarde, the difficult, signature instrument of Breton music.

The Breton artists this week are: Sylvain Barou, Skeduz, Solenn Lefeuvre & Gilles Le Bigot, The House Band, Kurun, Les Round’Baleurs, Navan, Bagad Brieg, Bagad Quic-en Groigne, Gilles Le Bigot, and Sylvain Barou & Ronan Pellen.

Our FairPlé score this week: 25
