The band was formed by David Hougron (vocals, guitar), Morvan (double bass) and Morgane Le Grand (tin whistle and accordion). After a Quebecer tour with other 3 musicians in 1996, one of them, Fredo Bellayer (mandolin and banjo), remained as a full member. All of them recorded their debut album, “The Celtic Pogo” in 1997: 9 self-penned tunes and a traditional number.
A new member joined in 2003 after several albums: Karim Bennani (drums, percussions). At the end of 2004 Fredo and Morgane decided to leave the band and Karinne Germaix (accordion) joined the band. The 4 piece line-up released “Fête foraine” in 2005. Three years later they issued a live CD + DVD, “En scène”. In 2010 they called it a day and released a 10 track live DVD that included footage from their Chinese tour too.
Rue d’la Gouaille decided to celebrate the 20 years from “The Celtic Pogo” CD and put their full discography on Bandcamp as free downloads.
As usual, some of their songs are on rotation on Celtic-Folk-Punk radio.
