Ghillie’s is a powerful quartet, full of energy and creativity.
The whole band has a great appetite for sharing, with the audience for sure, but also with dancers, students or children.
Marine (transverse flutes) and Yohna (fiddle and vocals) are illuminating the beautiful and powerful melodies from a traditional repertoire and also from the band’s compositions. They have a great asset, which is their playing: Philippe on the harp, whose incredible velocity rolls out the red carpet for an amazing interpretation, and Eric, whose precision and range of sound gives a tremendous stability to the global architecture of this band.
Ghillie’s repertoire has many sources of inspiration, mainly because of the diversity of its musicians.
Pre-sales for Ghillie’s next album !

It’s been twelve years since this band from Tours has been touring France and beyond !
We can’t wait to show you our 13 new tracks : a mix of songs, compositions, and arrangements of traditional tunes.
We’ve self-financed part of the album and sought some assistance to carry out this project but we still need some help to finalise the album and have it reach your ears by December 2024 !
So if you’d like to support us by pre-ordering “By The Hush,” or securing your spot for the album release party on December 5th, you can do it here !
Rocky Road
“After three E.P’s and the LP Premier bal, Ghillie’s makes a strong comeback with 12 new pieces in a new LP that is a real invitation to travel and dance.
Rocky Road is a poetic stroll, mixing original compositions and traditional tunes, arranged in a Ghillie’s recipe: a subtle blend of Irish, French,Jazz and Swedish influences!
If the first title sang by Yohna, with her powerful voice, will directly lead you to Dublin, other compositions on the album, like Valse d’Adèle or Song of Love, will invite you to wander off the beaten track.
What’s the craic? is a set of frenzied jigs and reels that will make you feel like dancing!”
