| biography:
| French musician. His family settled in Brittany, where his father made a Celtic harp for him. He learned Breton, admired Celtic themes, and invented pop-Celtic music. In 1966 he produced himself at the Centre Américain in the boulevard Raspail in Paris, and became well known in France and England with his album Renaissance de la harpe celtique, which provoked a renewal of folk music. He has also appeared at l'Olympia. His work evolved towards acoustic music and the excessive sounds of hard rock. |
