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.

Another 'bon soiree' - to be sure!

Last night's 'Soiree Irlandaise' in Le Grand-Pressigny was, like previous years, very well attended (over 400 portions of fish & chips served) and much appreciated by locals and visitors alike.

Music was provided by our local stalwarts as 'Celtiqua' and the returning 'Siansa' -great stuff!

As before the dancing proved popular with the 'callers' doing their usual sterling job of keeping them in tow -  even if there were some reluctant participants.

As we left we knew it would continue into the wee small hours.

Big 'shout-out' to the folks at 'Fete'art Pressignois' for all their efforts providing another great evening.
