JacalBased in the Ploermel region in Central Brittany, JACAL is first and foremost the coming together of two duos from the fest noz movement. It is also the meeting of four strong voices with an original and authentic repertoire made up of a great variety of airs and dances of both Western Brittany (the Breton speaking part) and Eastern Brittany (the 'Pays Gallo', the Gallo and French-speaking part), interpreted with punch, authority and simplicityJean-Luc Le Mouël (Biniou kozh, vocals), Mike James (Melodeon, vocals), Yves Leblanc (Bass clarinet, vocals), Jean-Pierre Cadic (Bombarde, vocals) UltravioletWonderful 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

Extremely good musicians (melodeons, fiddle, viola and vocals) from the fantastic local folk band Cross o'th Hands, Sarah and Doug are also known as a brilliant duo with highly imaginative, arrangements, lovely harmonies and superb dance music to boot!
Steve Turner & Yannick Minvielle-Debat
Well–known to Kinnersley Festival goers, Steve(accordion) and Yannick's (vocals) repertoire include French bal classics and chants à répondre from Brittany, reflecting Yannick's Parisian/ Breton background.
Yves LeblancYves is a specialist of Breton dance who has a mastery of both sides of the stage - he has a state diploma in teaching traditional music, and teaches music and dance for the association Chants et Danses de France. Last time he came to the festival you didn't want him to leave! |
