Melodeon wiz, Alain Pennec, who is also a mean turn on the Northumbrian pipes, came over some years back with guitarist and bouzouki man Marc Jacquier, dit Gegene, and impressed those who saw them. The group is now a quartet, with the addition of Philippe Janvier on bombardes and flute and Jean-Yves Martial on fiddle and bouzouki.
Tammles come from the non-Breton speaking, or gallo, regions of Brittany and their music has a distinctly different sound to the Breton norm - even when the bombardes are in full flight. The sound of the independent Breton deterrent is more muted here, blending well with the other instruments as they work jauntily through tunes and dances which include scottisches, a Vannes melody, marches, hanter-dros, an dros, gavottes and ridees.
Can there be room for songs? There certainly is, and Tammles really sound as though they are having fun on these tracks. There's not a duffer among then and the production is clean and precise, if a little laid-back (not an uncommon fault with this label, which has since sold out lo someone else).
They're top of the tree in Brittany at the moment

Tammles' emergence as a force to be reckoned with has been slow but steady, from the days back in the 1970s when multi-instrumentalis Alain Pennec and guitarist Marc Jacquier began using the name, and Embarquement Immediat is an album they can be proud off. Tammles work in the non-Breton speaking field, and their songs are as strong as their runes; they too, are not afraid to mix traditional and technology, Philippe Janvier switching from bombarde to alto sax with equal and interesting effect and Jean-Yves Martial putting swing and subtlety into the fiddle. The repetitive nature of Breton melody gives Tammles the springboard for their hypnotic effect; this is an album for all those who avoid Celtic music of the jig/reel/andro school, for it injects colour and variety into what is already an inspired choice of material. Like a good whisky (or lambic!) it's the result of years of maturing, and those who get hold of fit will savour fit for a long time to come. The title track certainly goes with me to my desert Island.

I am entranced by these Tammles albums - especially w/the electronic elements in the second. Any possibility of more? They released at least one more as far as I can tell.

You have a great blog and I found it by chance while doing some searching for the group TAMMLES. I first heard/seen this group in the BBC series, THE CELTS where they performed the song, Trois Matelots Du Port De Brest", which sounded catchy. Thanks for posting this album ending my search.

I reach you blog from italy, searching for entre la riviere e le bois.
I had the chance to listen Tammles in my town something about 25 years ago. And i loved them so much that i remember their mood and their songs till today.
Thanks for your sharing!
