Good fun last night performing with Dominique as 'Old Hat' in Barrou. The village did their usual great job of setting the scene and providing a great venue. We started the night off on the little stage which was set up perfectly for us. Thanks to everyone who came along to support us!

And it was going so well...

Like many music festivals before it, the weather played its part in last night's 'Barroudeurs' event but in true festival spirit after an initial heavy downpour the audience took evasive action before drying themselves off to enjoy the rest of the evening. The group who came equipped with a tarpaulin deserve a special mention.

Despite the weather outlook it began to fill up and soon we were experiencing one of the best festivals in recent years.

We particularly enjoyed the 'Funky Groove Parade' who mixed with the audience giving us their own unique take on some classics...

We had a good set from 'Innersun' to start of the proceedings.

Our current guests at the 'Old Walnut Mill' joined us, as a hopefully pleasant start to their holiday.

They were followed by 'Mister Mystere' as darkness fell adding a bit more ambience to an already convivial evening. We were looking forward to the fireworks and the headliners 'Crossroads' when nature dictated that the evening should come to an end by giving us the predicted orage and a light-show of the natural type.

Really felt for the organisers of this the 15th festival but they can be happy in that what they provided up to the storm was a great evening!

A weekend of soirees...

A great weekend of free entertainment and get-togethers ahead for us all here in Southern Touraine. Starting with the very popular 'Soiree Irelandaise' in Le Grand-Pressigny an opportunity to listen to some excellent Irish music from 'Siansa' and our very own 'Celtiqua, kicks off at 7.30pm'.

Then on Saturday night we have the 'Barroudeurs' on the banks of the Creuse in Barrou, a night of diverse music (from 8.00pm) with something for everyone (including fireworks!) in a convivial atmosphere.

The weekend finishes with an opportunity to dance and eat cake (heaven for some peeps) to the sounds of 'Siansa' from 2.00pm in the 'Foyer Rural' in Le Grand-Pressigny.

Please go along and support these events by spending some euros at the bar or at the food stalls as a great deal of background work by the respective committees is required to make them happen.
