Le Vent du Nord has also created a symphonic concert that, according to Voir Montreal, “puts all traditional folk naysayers to shame.”  Uk festival goers have seen and loved their performances at Shrewsbury Folk Festival, Celtic Connections and Fairport’s Cropredy Convention.

Feedback from YouTube

I saw them perform last night in Boston at the MFA. They never fail to disappoint. Their music makes me happy. Chair dance through the entire show. Saw them for the first time at the Lowell Folk Festival and have seen them every time they come to Boston. Love these musicians!

High energy, superb musicianship. Saw them at Celtic Connections 2020 - sold out performance. Fabulous
