Le Vent Du Nord

Le Vent du Nord is a Quebec band playing traditional Québécois music and Celtic folk. The group performs in Leeds at the Brudenell Social Club in Burley.

Le Vent du Nord formed in Montreal in 2002 and plays traditional music from Quebec alongside Celtic folk. The group has become a prominent advocate for the French language and a central figure in Quebec's progressive folk movement. It has released twelve earlier albums and has performed more than 2,400 shows across four continents.

Its awards include honours from Folk Alliance International and the Canadian Folk Music Awards, which both named the band artist of the year, along with JUNO Awards and FÉLIX prizes in Canada and Quebec. The band's performances, arrangements and compositions are recognised internationally, and its stage presence is described as strong and generous.

Brudenell Social Club began as a working men's club and mainly hosts pop, rock and indie concerts. This evening brings a Quebec folk act to a venue more often programmed for those styles, and suits listeners interested in traditional Québécois and Celtic music.
