As he discovers the guitar at the age of 18, he's interested by Blues but above all by american folksongs. As a Breton living in Paris, he turns very soon to Breton music and decides to move to Brittany at the age of 23. Settled in Glomel for all these years, he enters in his first Breton band there (Sked). During the 70's, he meets Mícheál Ó Domhnaill. Mícheál shows him new guitar fingerstyles that are very well adapted to all kinds of Celtic musics. These fingerstyles were initiated by Davey Graham in the late 50s as he combined an advanced knowledge of the instrument and a restless musical intelligence to create a style of solo playing that was far more developed than his peers. Soïg adapted this 'open-tuning' style to Breton repertoire. During the 80's, he founds 'Gwerz' which will soon become the seminal Breton band of these years like were the other bands he founded or took part to during this period (Pennoù Skoulm - Kornog - Kemia - Den). He started in 1993 to record his own albums. Four C.D.s ('Digor !', 'Entre ardoise et granit', 'Gwenojenn' and 'Gitar') where he always invited his closer friends such as Jacques Pellen, Jacky Molard, Ronan Le Bars, Jean-Michel Veillon, Alain Genty, Didier Squiban... Soïg today plays in solo, but also takes part to Les ours du scorff, 'Orion', to P.S.G. together with Jacques Pellen and Jean-Charles Guichen and also to 'Celtic Fiddle Festival' together with Chritian Lemaître, Johnny Cunningham, Kevin Burke. «From Soïg's guitar, the music comes out of the wood, invading our inner landscapes where it is neither day nor night. It has the straight of heather buttressed against the wind, and the tenderness of a jubilating horse. It gives an impression of foreverness. It was there in the shadows before gushing from the maternal womb. It will still be there in the light after we have gone, more intimate to us than we ourselves. Soïg's music does not accompany our loneliness. It does away with it. Understand by that : you will never walk alone.» Ronan GORGIARD « Digor ! »        22,87 € No longer available ! | My order La Jiganda - 5'00 Abril/Omaio xota de Ourense - 3'26 Er Miliner/Marche de Saint Mathieu - 3'05 A Tribute to Andy - 4'32 Kishor's tune - 8'25 Beg ar Lan - 3'55 Ar Menuser/Ridée - 4'45 Sweet rain II Plevin jig - 3'04 Plinn/ton ar fin - 3'13 La Visite à Adèle/Marche de la Roche-Bernard - 3'13 Rimodell - 2'05 Guests: Jacques Pellen, Jacky Molard, Ronan Le Bars, Jean-Michel Veillon, Dominique Molard, Youra Marcus. « Entre ardoise et granit »        22,87 € I order this C.D. | My order Vigo - 5'45 Madame la Frontière / An dro des Sables - 3'42 Kest ar Sonerien - 4'46 Là-bas dans la Prairie / passons la Lande - 4'32 La Rigole d'Hilvern - 4'35 La Chambre de la Karabasenn - 3'41 Cîntec de Dragoste : Ton tripl - 2'56 Les ridées du Printemps - 3'18 Feunteun ar Goasaleg / Tonioù Botcanou - 4'31 The Belle of Newcastle / Scottish Jig - 3'53 Teolena / Marche de Roskonval - 4'07 Guests: Jacques Pellen, Jacky Molard, Jamie McMenemy. « Gwenojenn »        23,63 € I order this C.D. | My order Quand la Bogue dort - 6'00 Digor - 4'11 The Baltimore week-end / The Whistler from Rosslea / Morning star - 5'08 La Loco Mallet - 4'17 Les Gardiennes - 4'32 Dañs tro Poher - 4'44 Quartiers de Lune - 4'03 Ramdam - 4'02 Air du Sant al Lard / War hent Trabrin - 4'21 Chanjet des an Amzer - 3'30 Gwenojenn - 4'58 Skuzimoisy - 2'48 Air de Repos / La suite du Ridor - 4'12 Guests: Alan Stivell, Alain Genty, Jacky Molard, Didier Squiban, Bachir Mokari, Karl Gouriou, Jean-Philippe Le Coz. « Gitar »        20,12 € I order this C.D. | My order The Jug of Punch / Master Crowley - 3'14 Son er Rost - 6'14 Le Halage - 5'07 Ton Jean-Marie Plassart / N'eur vont da Trabian - 3'26 Scottishes : Lt Colonel Georges / Private John - 3'34 Andros - 3'13 La Dansaone - 3'11 El Dormon / Calajillo - 4'19 Mac Phatter Street - 1'30 Suite Pourled - 2'38 The lonesome Jig / Nicotine Jig - 2'18 Ar Vestrez klanv / La Marche des grands bois - 3'18 War hent Poulfetan - 3'11        Guests: Jean-Félix Lalanne, Patrice Marzin, Jean-Loup Cortés, Sylvaine Guichen.
