He's very good and prone to a few flights of fancy here n there. definitely worthy of imitation Theres a good clip of comas on the kerry whistles website he really gets going on the last tune {which i would like to know the name of} http://www.kerrywhistles.com/dl.php?group=14# and some more on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTlspRuF1dw
Sylvain is a friend of mine - I don't know when he's next playing outside of France - he was at the Ennis festival recently. Next time I see him I'll ask when he's next touring (he plays with a few other bands as well as Comas - check out Avalon Celtic Dances too).

Has anyone heard this guy yet? I just bought the Comas cd for a friend but took a sneak preview and love his playing.
I cant find any dates for him touring anyhere though!

Re: Sylvain Barou
His playing is too 'busy' for my taste. Technically spoken he's top I guess.

They haven't updated the agenda on the Comas website, perhaps it helps if you write to:
