Nicola Hayes and Hélène Brunet have been making music together for more than ten years now, crisscrossing Brittany and abroad from café, to bar, to concert hall, carrying with them in their backpacks their unique blend of Irish jigs and reels, Cajun two steps, and Old-Timey breakdowns. 

 

Nicola’s own special “austral-irlando-cajun” fiddle style and Hélène’s laúd (Spanish 12-string lute) groove together to draw listeners into a world of seldom-heard traditional tunes, gleaned from master musicians, or rediscovered on old cassettes, unearthed in dusty drawers… between tunes,  they delight in sharing stories about musicians, parties, love…life stories!
