Can anyone point me towards some Breton tunes suitable for fiddle\guitar\double bass line up. here's a bit of what we do (original songs on here though) for anyone who is interested, cheers. https://soundcloud.com/tomoreillyandtheswaggers/tracks |

Tunes on the same site like Gannivelle, La Cochinelle and Canal en Octobre are not Breton but very well known French tunes. |

The band C'hwibanez are worth checking out for instrumental dance tunes. "Kan ha diskan" is the traditional vocal dance music, which usually works on instruments. And that does have names, sort of - the words are very repetitive and usually don't have a lot of content. |

If you are a dancer maybe you won't forget that. Andros & Hanter Dros still need the rhythm for dancers. Mr Red (a dancer of many Social Folk genres) |
