Music from Central France and Brittany
WHAT WE DO
Bof! is a five-piece band specializing in traditional French and Breton music for dancing and listening to. We have played in folk clubs, for dance groups and at festivals in England and France, as well as organising regular workshops and public dances in East Anglia, originally Burybal and now as part of Prêt à danser group.
Our line-up now includes Breton singer Gwendal Moële.
Our repertoire, which combines instrumentals and songs, is mainly traditional music from Central France and Brittany, but also includes more recent compositions, by members of the band and other.
We have made five CD recordings, all of which are available from our website.
