I was just listening to some old tapes and and ran across one of my favorite groups "Barde". The tape was made from a record years ago and has no information about them. Anyone know about them? Were any of their records remade into CD's?

Thanks,

I realize I'm 18 years late but ..... the 1st two Barde albums are available on CD at Aamazon. I engineered and co-produced those albums and the CDs were created from the safety masters which I had kept and then digitized. The mastering was done by a
talented guy at the National Film Board in Mtl and the results are good. Enjoy!

It's good to hear all this positive feedback about the group after all these years. Thank you all for your enthusiasm. Vive la musique!

The first two albums (Barde, Images) are available on CD and for download and streaming from Amazon. Voyage is posted on YouTube in its entirety.

The band disbanded after a performance at the Winnipeg Folk Festival when leader Pierre Guérin moved to St. Boniface/Winnipeg to marry his prairie lady (mentioned on the album Voyage) and later directed the festival. He now works for the French arm of
Radio Canada.

I thought "Jack McGann" was a reel composed by N.H. fiddler Rodney Miller--is it the same tune??
Andrew Kuntz

Ahem, it's actually "Jack McCann" not "McGann". Written by Chris Crilly of Barde in 1972.
I am flattered to bits that a Comhaltas outfit should see fit to play my tune. Thank you. Jack McCann was my mother's father.
It is his fiddle that I play. I thought it good juju to name the first tune I wrote for the instrument after the old rogue.
