Biography

The group formed in 2006 after Bévillon and Gorce invited Louise Ebrel, Maurice Jouanno and the ex-Bérurier Noir Loran on their album of traditional Breton music Kerne Izel, released on Coop Breizh. Their first album, Dañs an Diaoul was released in 2006 by the former label of Bérurier Noir, Folklore de la zone mondiale. The singer Louise Ebrel, daughter of Eugénie Goadec, a famous traditional Breton musician, is a guest on the album.
Les Ramoneurs de menhirs participated at the Festival Interceltique de Lorient in 2007, having performed outside the official programme. They also played at the BetiZFest. From January 2008, they went on tour in Europe. During their tour in Scotland, they opened for the Scottish Celtic punk group Oi Polloi along with Na Gathan. In April 2008, the group won the category "Best Musical Group" at the competition Kan Ar Bobl.
In April 2010 they released a second album, Amzer an dispac'h. Numerous guests participate in the recording of the record: Gilles Servat, Navajos of Blackfire, Niko Tagada, Louise Ebrel.
In 2014 Maurice Jouanno left the group, replaced by singer Gwenaël Kere. On July 7, they released a new album, Tan ar bobl. The group performed at the Hellfest Festival on 21 June 2015, and in 2017 with Bagad Kemperle.
