Outre Manche – Original music inspired by European traditional melodies and rhythms. With 3 different roots – French, Swiss and English, Outre Manche came together in Sheffield, UK, in 2004. Most of their music is composed by Gwenaelle, loosely arranged by the group and then improvised live so evey performance is unique. The lineup of harp, clarinette, percussion gives our individual sound. Outre Manche can make the perfect accompanyment to a wedding, traditional dance or simply a concert. “Subtle, gentle and beautiful” – Vivian Bonzo, Sandman magazine “hauntingly beautiful” – Phoenix Music Club
