Introducing Andre Brunet and Martine Billette

I saw this couple perform their traditional Quebecois music last year at the Celtic festival, and they really are the reason why I returned this year. Over the last year, Brunet's CD (with guitarist Eric Beaudry) was one of my favourites - relentlessly cheerful, energetic, and with equal dollops of innocence and mischevousness. Andre Brunet has the sweetest onstage presence of any performer I've ever seen; it is very clear that his passion is this music and sharing it with others.

Again, it might not be for everyone, but I hope you enjoy it.



I don't think you can buy any of their music online, but if you're interested, let me know and I'll send you the mailing address and phone number from their latest CD.
