[wallace]

Ar Korrigan -folk celtique
An Triskell
Roland Becker -Fallaen (more jazzy)
Diaouled -ar menez
Gwekltaz -bonedou ruz
Gwenfol Orchestra
Kouerien san Yann
Sonerein Du
Skaliero
Kornog

These are French (one is Dutch), but the "sound" is what your after:
La Bamboche
La Chiffonie
Maluzerene
Hoperien

Wallace has trade lps of Canadian  70s folk stuff not that far from this sound:
Barde -2 titles
Reve du Diable
Tamarack

Also got Canadian origional presses of Alan Stivell lps.

[wallace]

Make that "Gweltaz".

Yes, Dague "Pop Occitana" is one of the very best. Accordion,violins,mandolin,etc..
(not to confuse with Zoo's singer lp Dayde.)

[Yann]

Even if i live in Bretagne, i'm not a real specialist of Breton folk-rock 

The albums i have on CD :

Alan Stivell (the more famous Breton artist) :
-Telenn geltiek (1961) - instrumental harp
-Reflets (1970) - folk-rock
-Olympia concert (1972) - live Paris
-Chemins de terre (1973) - folk-rock
-E dulenn (1975) - live Dublin

Dan Ar Bras (ex Alan Stivell & Fairport Convention) :
-Douar Nevez (1977)

Tri Yann (pop side of Breton folk-rock)
-An naoned (1972)
-Suite gallaise (1974)
-Inventaire (1970-1993)

Seven Reizh (the best actual prog band)
-Strinkadenn Ys (2001)
-Samsara (2006)

Now adding to Wallace's list :

-Ar Skloferien
-Asgard (not the UK one)
-Bleizi Ruz
-Folkdove
-La Godinette
-La Mirlitantouille
-Orion
-Satanazet
-Skolvan
almost all from the 70's

+ a LOT of actual folk bands 

And here is a list of similar French folk :
Mailcorne, Mélusine, La Bamboche, La Chanterelle, Le Claque Galoche, Le Grand Rouge, La Kinkerne, René Werneer, Lyonesse, La Confrérie des fous, La Chifonnie, Bill Deraime, Alain Giroux, Eric Kristy, Mick Larie et Jean-Marie Redon, Jean-Jacques Milteau, Youra Marcus, Gérard Dole, Grop Rosamonda, Lambrusc, Miqueu Montanaro, Mont Loia, Rosina de Peira, Perlinpinpin Folc, Riga-Raga, Los del Sauveterre, Roger Siffer, Géranium, Les Luschtiga Malker, La Manivelle, Chalibaude, La Chavannée d’Montbel, Ellébore, Maluzerne, Tarentule, Café-Charbon ...

I think Dague is from the South of France.

If you want something from my Breton CD list (top of the page), tell me 

[wallace]

Confriere des Fous   is particularly good.

Could you comment on these? (actual lp releases? Wallace is especially interested in electric folk rock):
La Mirlitantouille
-Orion
-Satanazet
-Skolvan

[Yann]

La Mirlitantouille : look at this page http://www.breizh.de/cds/mirlitantouille.htm

Orion : i only know they made 1 album in 1979.

Satanazet : 1968-1975, first band of the Molard brothers. Very well known musicians in Bretagne, they played with Alan Stivell, Diaouled ar Menez, Skolvan, Gwendal... and many more.

Skolvan : traditional band born in 1984, especially for Breton dance.

Like i said before, i'm not a specialist of Breton folk 

[nahavanda]

wow thank you a lot!

many band/artist names i dont know in these lists;
umm some of them more like irish folk like Barde that i have listened before
however you create a lot wonder on me to listen them

before i need your help, let me try to find some of them first..


ps. it will be nice especially  "Reve du Diable" "Dague" "Reflets" to share via here 

[Yann]

"Reflets" you mention is about Alan Stivell, isn't it ?
Do you want me to upload ?
 

[ayah gagöhn]

Ar Re Yaouank is (maybe) my favourite band from there. I have the Best Of + the Live one (for those who are interested) The bassist comes from a metal band and his work on bass is really great.

EV is an band that really rocks with bombarde and accordion. I had poste it on "La Nuit Detend", let me find it back or upload it (if interested)

[pollux]

If there is still interest in this topic I have many many french folk albums I can share.

Yes Dague is from the south of France a region known as Occitan...with a great folk tradition.

I recently posted a few "Breton" albums including a "Breton made in Germany" with An Dro

Let me know as I can also post the Dague album

[nahavanda]

ah i found dague however my addiction for breton folk albums still continues, thanks a lot for an dro & galorn.. they were great suprises to me.

all breton folk is always welcome 

[pollux]

I am glad you enjoy these! No worries, there are plenty more in store
