Country: France. Style: Traditional French - Centre France.
Lineup: Gilles Chabenat (hurdy gurdy), Fred Pouget (bass clarinet/clarinet), Maarten Decombel (g).
Tondo is a new collaboration between Gilles Chabenat and Fred Pouget from Lignières (Centre-Val de Loire ) and Brive (Limousin) in France (who also perform together in the Clax Quartet) and Maarten Decombel from Flanders. These are my first photos of Chabenat though I have seen him four times before (all apart from the first at the Grand Bal de Bath) - with I Muvrani in 2002, solo and as a guest of other bands in 2006, with Claeys - Paris - Chabenat - Geerinck in 2008 and with Trio Chabenat, Montbel, Charrier in 2009. I do have photos of Decombel with Griff in 2007 (
