Myself and local musician Colin Edwards have been presenting a programme of traditional / “folk” music on our local community radio station for just over a year now - [ see discussion “DJ Kenny” ]. Each week we announce local music events, and have been using as a backing track a great piece of music, “Bigov”, written by Breton musician Gilles le Bigot, and played by him and Jean Michel Veillon on flute. It’s on Gilles’ CD “Empreintes #2”, and is the last track played on our current “anniversary” show.
I was looking for it on “Youtube”, and quite by accident stumbled across the recording below, which has the piece played by Erwan a Erquy, a flute player who looks as if he’s hardly even in his teens.
