I've given a link and asked for Mudcatters' experiences at the interceltic fest at L'Orient in this thread.

Now I invite comments and info on other festivals in Brittany, including Festival de Cornouaille in Quimper and the maritime songs fest, Chants de marin, at Paimpol. Can anyone give me this year's dates of those festivals; the info I've seen on the web is a year old.

This link: Musictrad will take you to a listing of French festivals - it's the site of TradMag, the excellent magazine for traditional music here in France. You could try emailing them for more info as the listing is by no means comprehensive - doesn't for instance list our nearest biggie - l'Ile de Tatihou - but 'tis better than nothing. OK, so Tatihou is actually Normandie - on the eastern side of the Cherbourg peninsula - but we're next door to Brittany!
