Transmusicales des Rennes opts for personal touch.
Three-day French hotbed of talent kicks off this week
By Gordon Masson
ONE OF THE KEY FESTIVALS for breaking new British acts gets underway this week with Les Transmusicales des Rennes celebrating its 30th anniversary.
The four-day event takes place in the unlikely musical hotspot of Rennes with the festival's founder Jean-Louis Brossard boasting a 90- act line-up that includes 19 UK acts such as Micahu and the Shapes, Leon Jean-Marie, Ebony Bones and South Central. The festival kicks off on Wednesday, December 3, with this year's event using more venues than ever before.
Rennes' 60,000 students have helped Les Trans grow from a gathering in an aircraft hanger in 1978 to a festival staged across eight separate venues, ranging from Le 4 Bis, which caters for 200 people, to the 10,000-capacity Hall 9 at Parc Expo.
Brossard names the likes of Essex quartet Magistrates, American acts The Residents and Jay Reatard, Romania's Miss Platinum and The Shoes from France as among the bands he tips for success at the event. "I'm hoping that some of the acts who come to Les Trans will go on to become big stars all around the world," he says.
