FESTIVAL OF CORNWALL
 
" Celtic Procession "
 
Short cuts of Pellen
 
1500 people yesterday evening. A beautiful assembly in the heart of Celtic creation. (photo not available)
 
    21h45 - a light "quimpérish" quarter and the "Celtic Procession" enter in scene with its two first officiants, Éric Barret (saxophone tenor) and the inevitable Patrick Molard (uillean pipe) for "Gwerz Landunvez" of any beauty which takes the first short cut of the evening.
    One feels paved of emotions and broad flights which smell good the moors and the heather from here and elsewhere.
    A way hidden under the high ferns and that Jacques Pellen did clear us like effective way of joining, already, the best of britanny soul to sonorities a little deep from a "jazz" that one imagines necessarily blue.

    On the steps of the place of Resistance, some 1 500 people invited to what will undoubtedly remain the most beautiful adventure of this festival, version 94.
    One very quickly guesses it, as of the second piece where Jacques Pellen (guitar) invites his friends to take the light of the projectors.
    Jacky Molard (violin), Paolo Fresu (trumpet), Kristen Nogues (toothing-stone), Jean-Michel Veillon (flutes) puis Riccardo Del Fra et Gildas Boclé (double basses) follow him on this "En attendant...", supported soon by a Peter Gritz (drums) who has definitely energy to resell!
    The mass is not yet said but one understand that the "iconoclast big band" incline to the jazz-rock. Irresistible, undoubtedly, to occupy this space where, yesterday evening, the bagpipes of Bagad Kemper have not sounded.
    Technical problems are the cause. Given part, ensures us one.
    But, with or without Bagad (Patrick Molard will ensure the final one!), the procession have the amplor and the heart with this pallet
of instruments who know draw back for subtle tones where the tradition express herself never as well.
    Quite beautiful evening? It's little to say. Demanding, undoubtedly, sometimes even aesthetic. But absolutely necessary.
    Would be this only for one festival which cannot obviously be satisfied with the large cavalry "which goes". Yesterday evening, the beautiful cavalcade of Pellen and Co had wings. It's lighter.
