Band formed in
the mid-seventies by support musicians of the French famous folk artist
Alan Stivell. While not touring or recording, they used to rest all
together in the Breton countryside in Morbihan where Stivell owned a
house. At this time, the idea of setting up their own band dawned upon
them. They started to write material and soon signed a contract with the
French division of Philips. As a result Alan Stivell put an immediate
end to their engagement. Named after a legendary Breton sunken city, the
band recorded their sole album at the famous studios of the Château
d'Hérouville, in Paris region. There they met singer Jacques Higelin
which made a guest appearance on the disc. After one year touring,
divisions between the Dutch leader Renée Werneer and the rest of the
group led to disbandment. Some of the musicians decided to continue
working together under the name of Keris. Line-up / Musicians René Werneer/vocals,violin,tin whistle,dulcimer Pascal Stive/vocals Jacky Thomas/vocals,bass Michel Santangeli/vocals,drums,percussion Pierre Chérèze/guitar Jacques Wiederker/Cello Discography Madame la frontière 1976
