Yannick Minvielle-Debat: Vocal.
Steve Turner: Accordion
Etkilendikleri
I find most Breton singers totally inspiring, but especially Matthieu Hamon, Charles Quimbert, Roland Brou, Les mangeouses d'oreille with Marie-Noelle Le Mapihan. I also love the singing of Evelyne Girardon and her amazing arrangements of traditional french songs.
I now live in Yorkshire, in the fantastic town of Keighley.
My songs come from the traditional Breton and French repertoire and are all for dancing. I am accompanied by a wonderful accordionist - Steve Turner, who plays for the Eels Grinders (great name), as a duo with Helena Torpy and in a new brilliant trio, Wistman's Wood. I specialise in call and response songs (Chants a Repondre), those mesmerizing and entrancing tunes for dancing so unique to Brittany. I am also involved in running a French and Breton dance group, Les Panards Dansants, based in Leeds. We organise a festival every year in Otley, Le Festival des Panards (of course...). So check out the website for french dancing events and festou-noz.
Also I have a super job, I teach traditional french dancing to children mainly in primary schools introducing a bit of language and culture. The kids love it and I do too!!
I am trying to download some of my songs and hope you'll enjoy listening, dancing to them as much as I do singing them.

Many thanks for adding us to your friends! Hopefully our paths will cross in the real world instead of just the virtual one. If you are ever round these parts when one of our sessions is on come and join us for a tune or three!
Aha!! i went there on Saturdays for junior orchestra (only played a few notes, but I felt very important! And I was only about 10 years old...) Cheers, and nice to meet you. kathryn x
