30 Jun 07 - 05:41 PM (#2091151) Subject: RE: Traditional Music in the Pyrenees, From: Seán Báite Les, I live in the plain about 150-200 km from the Pyrenees and I get this French trad listing for the whole SouthWest by e-mail every once in a while which often mentions the departments of the Pyrenees (09, 31, 64, 65, 66 - Ariege, Haute Garonne, Pyrenées Atlantique, Haute Pyrenées and Pyrenées Orientales). Send me your e-mail address by PM and I'll send back the latest listing I got. Trad music is no way as visible in France as in Ireland, say, but the Pyrenees is one of the places where trad resists the most (esp. the Béarn / Basque country) all the best Seán Báite |

30 Jun 07 - 06:36 PM (#2091184) Subject: RE: Traditional Music in the Pyrenees, From: Folkiedave There is a melodeon festival (really!) in Arseguel at the end of July and Artur Blasco who runs it will tell you everything else going on. I spent ages tracking down Habaneres (generally associated with the Costa Brava) only to find them in the Pyrenees. Then every single village festival (August 15th is a good day) will have something. PM me if you want to know more. Dave |
