DГ©robГ©e means stolen or stealth: the dance originated in Italy, probably imported by the armies of Napoleon. The Saint Loup international festival which ncludes a national competition of Brittany's dances and takes place every year around mid August, ends with this traditional dance. We lead off this set with La DГ©robГ©e de Guingamp, a Breton dance from Guingamp (or Gwengamp in Breton), which is a town in the CГґtes-d'Armor department in Brittany. La DГ©robГ©e de Guingamp (Gwengamp)/Hai o eadaraibh o (Eilidh Mackenzie) (Breton/Scots Gaelic)

We are putting our signature on this collection for you. We also have a well defined signature sound. We avidly explore the available extremes of all Celtic music and find ourselves drawn to odd time signatures. Barbara is still lead singer, plays Celtic bouzouki, bodhrГЎn and pieds Bernard continues to play flute, whistles, doumbek, cabasa and provides backup vocals Chuck Lawhorn is still our bass guitar player, also singing harmony and Jim Queen loves to fiddle around, with his banjo too, and sings in whatever range is needed. Our musical lineup for the past 9 years has been solid: we think we've evolved together rather well. Long story! It's also a magical place that has captured the imagination of all who land there, AND it's easy to spell! 31 years later, we have crafted a collection of music, spanning the Celtic diaspora, as well as parent countries, and many centuries.

This is the name of an island in the Scottish Hebrides where the monk Columcille (Columba) was exiled to establish a colony and work on the illustrious Book of Kells. We needed a name that could be easily pronounced, spelled and associated with the music and Barbara decided on IONAВ®. IONA's Latest Recording - The 31st Anniversary CDД«ack in 1986, Barbara Tresidder Ryan and Bernard Argent teamed up with 2 other musicians to formally play Irish and Scottish music as a band.
