Gérard Jaffrès (born 15 December 1956 in Saint-Pol-de-Léon) is a French singer, writer and performer.
He started playing the guitar at the age of 15, playing mostly folk repertoire (Alan Stivell, Tri Yann...) and rock music (Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin...).[1] In 1973, he joined Burt Blanca's band. He stayed with it for 11 years as a bass player. The same year, he moved to Belgium, his current home.[2]
Jaffrès started a solo career in 1985, recording ten discs with gramophone records. He has published a new album every two years since 1991.[3]
Jaffrès' music is a blend of Celtic music and rock'n'roll/folk which he uses to depict the landscape of Brittany and tell legends from the area of Leon (North Finistère). His texts sometimes mix Breton and French.[4]
