Le Vent Du Nord bring ten further tour dates to UK music scene
Le Vent Du Nord tour dates continue.
Le Vent Du Nord (Wind from the North) perform traditional Québécois music in French which is heavily influenced by Celtic music from both Ireland and Brittany. The group use a very diverse range of musical instruments augmented by Québécois foot percussion and wonderful vocals presented via a most entertaining, energetic and engaging stage show.
Their repertoire features catchy songs and tunes, some taken from the Québec traditional folk repertoire while others are original compositions. Renowned as ambassadors of Francophonie, Le Vent du Nord are acknowledged as one of the key groups in Quebec’s traditional folk music revival.
Since their formation in August 2002 the band have enjoyed major success which has allowed them to take their music to numerous countries around the world. LVDN are recipients of several prestigious awards, including a Grand Prix du Disque Charles Cros, two Junos (Canada’s Grammys), a Canadian Folk Music Award, and ‘Artist of the Year’ at the North American Folk Alliance Annual Gala and they continue with their tour in August and September as they promote their eighth album entitled Têtu.
