Le Vent du Nord, Muisc Room, Liverpool Philharmonic

This 5 man Québécois outfit come out fizzing with energy from the start and never let up.  Joyful and passionate about the music, they can all tell tales about the songs and their origins, a humourous bonus on top of virtuoso playing (and podorythmie) and harmony vocals.  Respect for the tradition  is no rein on exuberance and delight, and they had the audience on their feet at the end.  Unmissable.
