Biography:
 
Gwerz is a super group that features some of the finest innovative musicians in the contemporary Breton folk scene. Patrick and Jacky Molard, Erik Marchand, Youenn le Bihan and So?g Sib?ril founded it in the mid 1980s. Although most of Gwerz's members have developed solo careers or joined other well-known bands, the group still performs together occasionally.

The group combines Breton traditional music, vocals and instruments with modern elements and Irish music influences, including the use of Irish pipes (uilleann pipes).

Musicians: Youenn Le Bihan (bombarde and bass bombarde) Jacky Molard (fiddle) Eric Marchand (vocals, clarinet) Patrick Molard (uilleann pipes) Soïg Sibéril (guitar) Alain Genty (bass) Bruno Caillat (percussion)
