Accordage

Accordage, (“Tuning”) Maritime Song Group was set up by a number of sailors from Brest harbour in January 2013.

in December 2012, at the end of a season full of strong events (Festival des Trois Ecluses in Port-Launay, Fête de la Musique in Brest, participation in the Tonnerres de Brest 2012, Cruise Aramis), the group decided to give itself a name and form an association.

While its repertoire remains essentially composed of traditional sailors’ songs (work songs, port songs), the choice of new songs better adapted to the mix of the group and multi-voice singing is also favoured.

Accordage, (chaired By J.P. Haboury) now has a group of male and female choristers of almost equal parity, accompanied by 3 musicians, all volunteers (1 Accordion And 2 Guitars/Banjo/Harmonica) and directed by Christiane Gaussuron, Music Manager.
