=========================

I was born in 1964 in Nantes, Brittany, France.
I was raised on a strict diet of butter, Beatles and football (in other words, I was bred and buttered in Nantes).
I have toured (I mean taught) extensively in Breton, Irish and French schools and universities.
I (try to) play guitars and drums. And computers.

Vous trouverez ici un mÃ©lange de chansons et d'instrumentaux "celtiques". Certains sont rÃ©cents, d'autres (trÃ¨s) anciens.

J'ai Ã©crit et enregistrÃ© tous ces morceaux dans mon home-studio au fil des 20 derniÃ¨res annÃ©es, et je joue la plupart des instruments, Ã 3 exceptions prÃ¨s (le piano sur "Love For You", le low whistle et le uilleann pipes sur "Ait Solais").

=============================

What you will find here is a mix of songs and "Celtic" instrumentals. Some of them are recent, others are (very) old.

I have written and recorded all these tracks in my home-studio over the last 20 years, playing most of the instruments, with 3 exceptions (Piano on "Love For You", low whistle and uilleann pipes on "Ait Solais").
Influences: JS Bach, the Beatles, the Bothy Band. That's a good start.
