Original music inspired by European traditional melodies and rhythms.
With 3 different roots - French, Swiss and English, Outre Manche came together in Sheffield, UK, in 2004. Most of our music is composed by Gwenaelle, loosely arranged by the group and then improvised live so evey performance is unique. The lineup of harp, clarinette, percussion gives our individual sound.
Outre Manche can make the perfect accompanyment to a wedding, traditional dance or simply a concert.

And Saturday eve there is a nice gig in 't Ey in Belsele (between Gent and Antwerp). Bogus and Andromeda are playing, the members of both bands are very young but have a lot of potential. 't Ey is also a very cosy place just to have drink of 1, 2, 3, ... :)
