Patiently, discreetly, almost without promotion, the companion of Breton blues asserts himself year after year as a must on the French blues scene. Little media presence, Ronan is in his workshop, his studio, his home rather than on the radios: when he appears on stage, the general public, most often, still ignores him - but one concert is enough to make him obvious, a memory that will not fade. All the French-speaking festivals, from Cognac to Buis, ask for him; Left Lane Cruiser, James Leg, Scott H. Biram ask for his opening acts and his calm friendship backstage. Same refined simplicity, same taste for discreet quality in his cigarbox guitars, of which he is one of the pioneers in France, well before the current fashion - and especially in his music, a one-man-band blues work, guitar, restrained percussion, a little harmonica, deep voice scraping in the throat without losing its depth, where each element blends without hiatus, like the adjusted pieces of a master cabinetmaker. Ronan takes the time to install his blues, note by note, word by word, with warmth, with humility, in confidence with the audience. His pieces stretch out tirelessly, exploring the riff, the sound, sculpting them as if with a chisel and a plane; his hill country inspired by McDowell, Burnside & Kimbrough takes on the appearance of swamp blues. Their slow, Mississippian flow becomes irresistible, cracking the dikes, carrying feet and heads.
