Hello. I'm looking to speak to people who have made the decision to leave the UK and move abroad for a potential documentary. At the moment it is just in the research phase so I'm just looking to talk to some people and find out more about the reasons they might move.  Thanks and all the best,  Ellie Gibbs ellie.gibbs@libertybell.tv    020 7598 7209

Hi there .. quite possibly going to be moving to Cher area in the next year or so, from Brittany.  I play fiddle, predominantly English and Irish music, although I do American Old Time as well.  I also sing traditional English folk songs, and comic songs from the era of the Music Hall.   Interested to know if there would be anyone out there interested in giving me an audition!!   Thanks.  Terry B

Does anybody know of any English speaking comedy nights in the region? If not are there any budding comedians out there who fancy setting one up?

Does anyone know of any events taking place for valentines day?

We've got some friends over for this weekend, any suggestions on where we can find live music and a good atmosphere.

I would like to have satellite internet installed.  Has anyone recently had dealings with a company that supplies this service that hopefull speaks English as I find the French websites a little confusing and not sure what I need to ask.  I have teenagers so need to have the capacity to deal with them.  I am hoping to find a provider that will be reasonably priced. Area 18270.  Thank you in advance for any advice.

Hi. I'm looking for a group or band to play at my daughter's wedding in July. It will be near Argenton sur Creuse and the wedding party will be nearly all English. Can anyone help? Thanks

Got some visitors coming for the last half of January - what can we do with them?? We'd usually walk a lot but I'm worried that the weather won't be very jolly and we certainly don't want to spend two weeks in the house watching TV!

I am a struggling fiddle player (Old Time American and Bluegrass are my kind of music) and I have need of a good teacher.  My husband and I sing and play this kind of music and I want to incorporate the fiddle into our act.  I did have a really good French fiddle teacher, but she taught Irish music.  That was not such a problem as any techniques on the fiddle are most welcome, but unfortunately, she was very unreliable (I only managed to get 12 lessons with her in a year!  She just did not turn up for several pre-booked lessons!) and so I have now finished with her. Does anyone know of a teacher near the le Blanc (36220) area, .  I would be grateful for any information.  Thanks
