We are “Les Gabiers d’Artimon”, the Boatswains of the Foc’sle, we are the Boatswains of Artimon.

In nearly 45 years, the Gabiers d’Artimon, (“The Boatswains of Artimon”) have experienced moments, each more extraordinary than the next : prodigious encounters (Fred Mella, Francis Lemarque, Gilles Servat, François Budet, Jacques Yvart, Michel Tonnerre, Yannick Ar Bleiz, Didier Roman Nicolas La Rallic, the Bagad de Lann Bihoué…), unforgettable radio and television appearances (France Musique, local radio stations, France 3, La Chance aux Chansons…), fabulous trips (Germany, Spain, Ireland, China, Canada, Russia, and of course several regions of France…), and all the sharing with the many groups and choirs.

Singing of the sea is first of all to express all the joys and sorrows of the sailors on board for many weeks. It’s talking about their living conditions on board. But it is also using singing to help manoeuvres such as songs for hauling, for pulling, for towing…

For 45 years, with more than 200 songs in the repertoire, 14 vinyls and Cds and 1500 concerts on 3 continents, the Gabiers d’Artimon have continued to share their good humour through their “marinated tunes”…
