International Exchange between Moray and Brittany

Featuring musicians

Danielle Price and Martin Lee Thomson (aka Dopey Monkey)
Jean-Luc Thomas and Gab Faure.

An international collaboration between musicians Danielle Price and Martin Lee Thomson aka Dopey Monkey – who are both originally from Moray – and musicians Jean-Luc Thomas and Gab Faure from Brittany, France.

This international exchange sees the musicians sharing tunes from their respective repertoires and cultural traditions, and collaborating on new pieces in an exchange of tunes, stories and the cultures they come from through a residency embedded in each others respective rural communities in the summer of 2024.

The artists started their exchange with a concert at this year’s Celtic Connections Festival on the 3rd of February 2024 performing their respective repertoires. The three different residencies will culminate with performances in August in Brittany as part of Domaine départemental de La Roche Jagu (French Premiere), then in September in Scotland as part of the 5th Findhorn Bay Festival (Scottish Premiere).

Upcoming dates
