Celtic Festival in Rennes, Brittany

Last night the annual Celtic Festival took place in Rennes, France, where the ancient and traditional sounds and colours of the Celts filled the night sky, as it did in the beginning of time.

More than 400 musicians and dancers from Britain, Scotland, Ireland and even from l'Acadie -- the ancient 'province of France in North America/Canada (New-Scotland, New-Brunswick and the Island of Prince Edward)-- and of course, France, congregated in the capitol town of Brittany for an unsurpassed spectacle of light and sound.

All the great names of Celtic music were there --- Alan Stivell on the Celtic harp, guitarist and greatest Breton cornemuse player, Dan Ar Braz, as well as the talented pianist Didier Squiban, to name but a few. British Airways even sponsored a pipe band from Scotland and the famous mariner group of Bagad de Lann-Bihoué also graced the planks. And no Celtic evening would be complete without the Irish river dance dancers, the bagadoù dancers from Auray, Locoal-Mendon, Pontivy, Lorient, Saint-Navaire, Pont l’Abbé, and Saint Evarzec.
Even the biggest sceptic would have to agree that Celtic music is as alive and as well as it ever was and enjoyed all over the world!
