DOOLIN' Doolin\\u2019, formed in Toulouse in 2005, comprises six accomplished and eclectic musicians who have gained fame through their music. French in origin \\u2013 though easily mistaken for Irish musicians \\u2013 this sextet (guitar, bodhr\\xe1n, violin, tin whistle, accordion/vocals, bass) brings a fresh approach to Irish music. Inspired by the purest tradition, Doolin\\u2019 combines instrumentals, vocals and original compositions in a resolutely modern style. The arrangements, at times taking their inspiration from pop-rock, folk, jazz, funk or even rap (and always in the best taste), emit great energy.That\\u2019s Doolin\\u2019 \\u2013 Irish music with a French touch!Doolin\\u2019 is an Irish music group whose name derives from the little village of musical fame in south-west Ireland. Born in 2005 from an encounter between six accomplished musicians, from its inception Doolin\\u2019 have perfected a mixture of novel musical genres. Whilst some of the band were immersed in the world of traditional Irish music, and others were active in the jazz scene or in the pop rock wave of the eighties and nineties, they found a common love in traditional Irish music. From ballads to furiously fast jigs, from their own compositions to traditional tunes, Doolin\\u2019 offers a rich palette of sound. From the intimate atmosphere of an Irish pub to the spectacle of the concert stage, this sextet has been support act to major names such as Altan, Kevin Burke, Martin Hayes and Mairt\\xedn O\\u2019Connor. Members of Doolin\\u2019 have played with Carlos Nu\\xf1ez and Dan Ar Braz and the major Irish flute player Desi Wilkinson (De Dannan, Cran) have rejoined the group for a tour in 2006. Habitu\\xe9s of prestigious venues where they seduce the audience by their unassailable energy, this French group plays homage to Irish music throughout France and Europe.
