Having just returned from Rennes in Brittany, I have to recommend the session I attended at La Cité D'Ys, Rue Vasseloff last Tues. The session was led by two excellent fiddle players, and attended by a number of musicians including a very good flute player who also played a half-set of Uileann pipes. The standard was very high and most enjoyable. I recommend this session to anyone visiting Rennes.

Sadly (Guest above) this session sounds not to be trad French. Much further south there's a hotbed of second rate Irish playing, for third rate French dancing, when the local tunes fit the dances so much better. A mysteryto me.

Yes while living in El Hierro in the Canary Islands, I was told on a visit back to Ireland that there was no trad music in the Canaries!

this meant there was no trad Irish music there!! what the f... did they expect? There's PLENTY of trad music there, Herreno trad music, as it should be!!
