Specialising in the traditional French-Canadian folk that locals refer to as Quebecois music, Le Vent du Nord have become a mainstay of the folk landscape.
Beginning in 2002, they’ve spent the past two decades showcasing their unique mix of Celtic and French folk traditions, releasing twelve albums and winning numerous awards along the way.
Live, they’re known for their energy, skill and eclecticism. Accompanying their five-part vocal harmonies, their live sets include hurdy-gurdy, accordion, bouzouki, piano, jaw-harp, guitar and electric bass!
