Bruno Le Tron : accordéon diatonique
Franck Fagon : clarinette, clarinette basse, saxophone soprano
Pablo Molard guitare

Bruno Le Tron est connu pour ses compositions riches de musicalité et au swing inimitable, et son compère de longue date, Franck Fagon, pour ses improvisations énergiques et son sens du phrasé mélodique.

Plus récemment c’est Pablo Molard qui a rejoint le groupe, enrichissant de sa guitare les sonorités de l’accordéon, du saxophone et de la clarinette.

Les trois acolytes sont souvent réunis à l’occasion de stages spécifiques aux instruments de chacun ou consacrés à un travail de musique d’ensemble.

Ils vous entraîneront toute la nuit dans les danses de Bretagne aussi bien que celles de Centre-France au son de leur musique résolument moderne, inspirée des répertoires traditionnels.

FAQ

Can I come without a dance partner?
Yes, please feel welcome to do so.
I have never danced (folk) before, what now?
Coming for the first time can be a bit outside of your comfort zone but be assured, no one will judge you on your dancing skills.
There will be an introduction class of 1 hour at 19:00, there we'll explain some common dances (hanter-dro, andro, scottisch, jig, bourré 2 times).
Folk dancing is relatively accessible to dance to and don't hesitate to ask some explanation more experienced dancers will be more than happy to show you some steps.
Also, you don't have to dance all night, enjoying the music and watching others dancing can also be delightful.
