The band Edhels (PA entry: http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=141 - www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=141 ) is listed as a French band, but they are actually from Monaco. Here's the website: http://edhels.ifrance.com/ - http://edhels.ifrance.com/ Check the biography section. The band members met on Monaco Jazz Conservatory. They recorded their albums outside their small country, which is not surprising. There's another source from a prog rock web site: http://progressor.net/review/bl1_sympho_def.html#ld - progressor.net/review/bl1_sympho_def.html#ld It should be changed for the sake of accuracy - but also it would be very cool to have one more country listed on our prog rock map! ------------- |

It's a small country (a few square miles) in the middle of the French territory, so to speak. On the Mediterranean coast. (Monte Carlo casinos, Grand Prix etc.) I think they have some sort of a contract/treaty with the French government: as long as there are any heirs of duke/duchess family , the country will stay independent; if the family goes extinct, Monaco will become part of French Republic (again?). ------------- |

Well, as you say, the band's bio claims the band was originally formed at the Monaco Academy of Music. But, it later [further down the page] refers to Edhels as a French band! And, does the outside world regard them as French? I have changed the entry to point to Monaco ... but with reservations ... |

Monte Carlo/Monaco is a tax haven in France. These guys are really French, because there is no way they can afford anything Monaco, let alone rent money for rehearsal. ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

Now I'm totally confused...   What's the site's policy ion this case? ------------- |

Don't know, but my opinion for what it's worth .... It comes down to a combination of: Where the band was and/or is based Nationality of members But, there is no set formula - each case needs to be judged individually. In this case, do we know where they are based? And, do we know the member's nationality? [they may have come together in Monaco, but that doesn't necessarily mean they are Monégasques] - as Hugues says, it is more likely they are French, or at least based in France. |
