d'Accord
d'Accord is a 4 piece band ( although extra musicians may join us occasionally) consisting of a Melodeon player doubling on Flute & Bombarde, a Bagpipe player doubling on Mandola, Mandolin & percussion, a Cittern player and a Bass Guitarist doubling on Mandolin.
The music the band play is mainly French and Breton traditional dance music although we have recently brached out and added some Cornish music to our repertoire.
Formed to provide live music at the d'Accord French/ Breton dance club held monthly at the Phoenix Arts Centre in Exeter the band is now performing at other venues, regularly at the Harbertonford French/ Breton dance club and recently at the Pentrefest celtic Festival in Pembroke where our repertoire also included some traditional Cornish dance music.
French and dance is a mixture or lively circle and set dances such as Bourees and An Dros and more romantic couple dances such as Mazurkas, Waltzes and Schottiches and is tremendous fun. The music ranges from the hypnotic to the raucus with beautiful and unusual melodies that will leave you gasping!
An ideal band for all sorts of functions such as weddings, community events, festivals, parties.
Why not have a French Bal for your next event?
