20th May 2015 at the Anvil {the Forge), Basingstoke, Hampshire.

Country: Ireland (US resident) & France - Brittany. Style: Traditional Irish Folk & Breton & Québécois.

Lineup: Kevin Burke (fiddle), Christian Lemaître (fiddle), André Brunet (violin/podorythmie), Nicolas Quémener (g).

Formed in 1993, the group now consists of Kevin Burke (bought up in London to parents from Sligo), Christian Lemaître and Nicolas Quémener (from Brittany), and André Brunet (from Québec),. When original member Johnny Cunningham died in 2003, rather than replace him with another Scottish fiddler, Brunet from the Québécois tradition was chosen. There were a variety of guitarists (John McGann, Soig Siberil, Tony McManus, Ged Foley) before around 2010 when Quémener joined. In the past I've taken photos of Burke solo (www.flickr.com/photos/kmlivemusic/sets/72157651604859766/), Brunet & Quémener as a duo (www.flickr.com/photos/kmlivemusic/sets/72157640768064573/) and Quémener with the Ronan Le Bars Group (www.flickr.com/photos/kmlivemusic/sets/72157640574723885/).
