The Churchfitters
 Friday 26th September - Based in Brittany since 1993, the Churchfitters is one of the most inspired groups on the folk scene today. Their energetic and festive show unites the rythmns of rock and pop with the universal appeal of traditional music. Three explosive voices and the use of a dozen or so acoustic instruments (fiddle, guitar, double bass, flute, banjo, dulcimer, mandoline, saxophone) allow them a rich musical language with which to express their varied programme of songs and melodies from Ireland, Scotland, Québec, England, USA and their own compositions. With their flamboyant personalities, Rosie and Chris Short from London, Topher Loudon from Belfast and Boris Lebret from Brittany present their unique show with good humour and a sense of fun delighting audiences at festivals, concert halls and theatres throughought France and Europe whenever they play.
