my fav. celtic rock

[ozmeath]

I'm in a period of listening to the Breton festou-noz bands like Forzh Penaos and Ar Re Yaouank. Combining the trad (which is way too danceable to begin with) and adding electric guitars and drums makes it brilliant beyond belief.

I love the Breton stuff I've heard. I'll check out those you mentioned. I was in New Caledonia on tour last year with www.barleyshakes.com (shameless self promo there) and heard Tri Yann. It was a cd playing in this bar restaraunt and the locals wents nuts about it! singing up a storm and dancing on the bar wearing plastic Viking horns and rowing invisible boats. That was a blast.
