Bof! is a four-piece band who play French and Breton music for dances and concerts. They appear mainly around East Anglia, but have played at festivals and clubs across the UK and in France. Their current line-up comprises Gwendal Moële - Vocals / Val Woollard - Flute, Bagpipes and Recorders / Phil Lyons - Guitar and Vocals / Simon Haines - Diatonic accordions.

Gwendal Moële & Paul Riley are an established duo who present a programme of 20th century French chansons, including songs by Edith Piaf, Charles Trenet, Jacques Brel ad others. Paul’s jazzy, bluesy guitar style is the ideal accompaniment to Gwendal’s powerfully sensitive vocals.

Their line-up comprises: Pete Sewell - Fiddle / Emma Hardy - Fiddle / Vicky Lambert- Flute and Whistle / Tom Hardy - Guitar.
