• Master-guitarist Pierre Bensusan’s first recording at the age of 17, ‘Près de Paris’(released 1975) was awarded The Grand Prix du Disque for Folk Music at the Montreux Festival in 1976. Very folk- orientated with an already distinctive, mature guitar style and musicality. All of Pierre trademarks are here. A classic, historical work, paving the way for many guitarists.

• Personnel : Pierre Bensusan: guitar, mandolin, vocals; Claude Lefebvre: dulcimer, guitar; Phil Fromont: violin, alto violin; Emmanuelle Parrenin: hurdy-gurdy; Bill Keith: banjo; Jean-François Sandoz: tin whistle; Gerard Lavigne: electric bass; Andre Thomas: bodhran; Herve De Sainte-Foy: up-right bass

• "Pierre has really created something, I love what he does" - Doc Watson
