2nd Pilgrimage to Brittany for American Musicians

Posted on March 1st, by Jake in Publication. No Comments

In what is fast becoming an annual event for some Eastern-US based Celtic musicians, five individuals traveled to Brittany in order to compete in the “Championnat National des Bagadou” for the first category, held February 14th at “Le Quartz” in Brest. The trip, lasting from February 4th to February 15th, reflects a sustained and growing American interest in the music of Brittany, as this marks not only the second year that such a trip was taken, but also an expansion in the number of musicians making the trip. The trip also served a dual purpose in allowing the musicians, who are also involved in the founding of the fledgling Bagad New York, to join some of the finest Bagadou in Brittany in the height of competition – a vital learning experience.
