An afternoon matinee of Celtic music with Neear Nesa&ntilde;, Duo Landat Moisson and The Twin Tides. Neear Nesa&ntilde; brings together musicians from Brittany and the Isle of Man, exploring the musical traditions of both nations and the connections between them. The group was formed in 2019, with their first public performance taking place at Yn Chruinnaght Celtic Gathering on the Isle of Man, as part of a collaboration supported by Culture Vannin.&nbsp;The group brings together Breton singer Lors Landat and accordionist Thomas Moisson, who have performed together for more than 15 years, alongside Manx keyboard and violin player David Kilgallon. For their performance at Lowender, they will be joined by young Manx musician Frank Joughin, who is involved in several folk groups and is currently working on his own album exploring traditional Manx music and language alongside modern production styles. Their music combines traditional songs and tunes from Brittany and the Isle of Man, bringing together the Breton and Manx languages, traditional dance music and new arrangements. In 2021, Neear Nesa&ntilde; released their album&nbsp;Beyond the Pier, featuring 13 tracks celebrating the music and shared heritage of the two nations. The name Neear Nesa&ntilde; loosely translates as &lsquo;Nearest West&rsquo;, reflecting the geographical and cultural connections between Brittany and the Isle of Man. *** Duo Landat Moisson&nbsp;are Bretons Thomas Moisson and Lors Landat.&nbsp; Thomas Moisson is indisputably one of the most talented accordeonists of his generation. His encounter with the distinctive voice and legendary charisma of Lors Landat has given rise to a unique duo on the avant garde of Breton music. Having given over 400 concerts in the last 15 years both in France (Interceltic festival of Lorient, Bogue d&#39;Or in Redon, Yaouank in Rennes, ...) and abroad (USA, Canada, Spain, Romania, UK, Isle of Man), the pair have without a doubt become one of the most accomplished duos in contemporary Breton music. *** The Twin Tides are Cornwall&#39;s Tommie Black-Roff and Wales&#39; Christine Cooper. Together, Christine and Tommie weave a tapestry of mesmerizing melodies, promising an unforgettable musical journey. Christine imparts her music with a sense of adventure, drawing from Welsh, American and Scandinavian fiddle traditions. Twice winner of the Welsh Celtic Fiddle Competition, she has a background in both dance music and storytelling and is known from bands such as Fernhill. Tommie, a Cornish accordionist, creates music that spans European folk traditions, working between the UK and the Nordic Countries in folk, theatre and dance. His other projects include TEYR, Ville &amp; Tommie and V&auml;rivarjo.Together, Christine and Tommie weave a tapestry of mesmerizing melodies, promising an unforgettable musical journey. ******************&nbsp; By registering, you&rsquo;re helping celebrate and safeguard Cornwall&rsquo;s living heritage through shared experiences, workshops, and late‑night tunes.
