Maart, I know you have a love of Breton culture. Who are your favourite Breton acts past and present?

A quick answer would be Dan Ar Braz, Soig Siberil, Christian LeMaitre, Patrig Molard, all those deafening pipe bands and all the singers and bombard players that make it all so different. There was a Norman who did a lot for Breton music too, Alan Stivell, who made some magical albums in the seventies.

Cor, you learn something every day... I've read that Alan Stivell wasn't born in Brittany (Paris area maybe?) but I always thought he was of Breton descent.  No matter, I still love his music & the effect he had on Breton music in general.
