 Skolvan are the cream of Breton dance bands. The secret of their success lies in their stunning melodies and breathtaking arrangements. Founded in 1984 by guitarist Gilles Le Bigot and Youenn Le Bihan on bombarde and piston, the band now includes the soprano saxophone of Bernard Le Dréau  and the chromatic accordion of Régis Huiban.
