Zef

For three years, dance floors all over Europe have vibrated to the wonderful tunes of this talented French band. This is a fantastic opportunity to dance to jazzy rondeaux, wild circassian circles, oriental bourrées and dreamy mazurkas.
Laurent Geoffroy (melodeon), Aurélien Claranbaux (melodeon), Pierre Vigneau (bass), Baltazar Montanaro (Violin), Joël Turk (hurdy-gurdy) et Julien Marie (guitar, recorder)

"Un Bal qui fera danser vos oreilles et vos pieds!"

Steve Ellis, Geoff Beilby and Marion Ludwig Trio

Wonderful trio playing traditional and original music mainly in the dance style of Central France. The instrumental combinations, like the dances themselves, provide a range of moods, from smooth and slinky to raw and energetic…

Dulzaina

Watch out!! Dulzaina's combination of the traditional with inspiring compositions is the perfect recipe for a "Panards" bal: great dances and good tunes to listen to.
Peter Coleman (G pipes), Clare Hines (Hurdy-Gurdy, contrabass), Ann Wyatt (cello), Graham Knapp (percussion), Paul Kiddy (Sax).

Ker Brisé

If you love Breton music and dancing as much as they do, then come and be seduced by their talented interpretation of Breton tunes.
Doug Briggs (accordion), Patrick O'Reilley (Bouzouki), Kate Moran (Fiddle), Martin Dunn (Flute)

Pierre Casaubielidh

Our favourite Béarnais, Pierre brings an authentic Gascon flavour to the Festival. Pierre plays traditional instruments: Boha, a pipe from the Landes, tambourin and 3-holes flute.

Jessica Abrahams

Jessica Abrahams and Pat Lindop

Jessica and Pat won’t need any introduction to French dance enthusiasts, most of whom will already have benefited from their excellent teaching.

Yannick Minvielle-Debat and Graham Knapp

Two of the Panards tutors, both experienced in teaching French and Breton dances to the Panards meetings and festivals around the country. Yannick regularly leads workshops in singing for dancing.
