Indiscretion : when today's musicians lend an ear to the secrets of the past...

The Curious Bards bring back to life tunes born along the roads of Ireland and Scotland, preserved in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century collections of melodies and dance music.

Through this repertoire, passed from hand to hand and by word of mouth, The Curious Bards open what they call their "musical bedside book"—the collection of pieces that has accompanied and inspired them over the years. From homes to taverns, from family gatherings to festive celebrations, ballads, traditional airs, and exuberant dance suites paint a rich and evocative musical landscape.

These whimsical bards breathe new life into the stories and adventures of bygone times, performing with energy and imagination at the very heart of the Celtic world.
