Subject: RE: Name some Breton/Hurdy-Gurdy Artists!
A really good website for Breton information is www.breizh.net/icdbl (The International Committee for Defence of the Breton Language). It has a "Guide to Music in Brittany" and links to instruments, recordings, performers.

www.hurdygurdy.com www.prydein.com (Fete de la Vielle in Vermont) www.pregomusic.co.uk www.vermontel.net/~theweepiper (CDs/tapes) www.thorsebyfestnoz.com (Website with sound samples, details of performers and video on line of Fest Noz held in Nottingham, U.K)

All the above have infinite links to infinite numbers of websites of performers of this lovely music. Oh, you've made me want to go back there for my holidays, now ... I can taste the crepes already ... Bon voyage ! - Jeanie
