Bertrand Binet

French guitarist born 1955 in Belle île en mer (Morbihan, France). Brother of [a=Emmanuel Binet]. He started playing the guitar at an early age, and with his younger brother Emmanuel they formed the groups 'Everlasting', and 'Cisum' and played in Brittany during the 1970s. Bertrand also worked in ballroom orchestras from the age of 15 and this, for ten years to earn a living. In 1980, at the age of 25, he decided to leave Rennes where he had lived for seven years and moved to Paris. In Paris, he played with pianists Mico Nissim and François Couturier, saxophonist Philippe Delettrez, double bassist Jean-Paul Céléa, drummer François Laizeau, music inspired by jazz and modal music. He played in the group of the three Kabyle sisters "Djurdjura", and with the "text" singers Romain Didier or Jean Guidoni, with the progressive folk group "Gwendal", the jazz violinist fusion Patrick Tillman, the drummer Xavier Jouvelet, accomplice of organist Emmanuel Bex and his afro-jazz music… In 1981 and 82, he recorded and played with the group “Sax Pustuls”, but this one unfortunately dissolved quite quickly. It is his meeting with artists from the theater that will be decisive for the rest of his career as a nomadic musician. He became actor, musician and composer for many theater groups and shows.
