For thos of us on the Roussillon side of the region... Lou Reed, The Pretenders, Sinead O'Connor coming to the festival in Girona this July!

Anyone know of a bar/pub/house etc where my girlfriend and I can watch the mighty Burnley play Sheffield Utd in or around Beziers on May 25th? Will save us some cash on flights back if you know somewhere! Beziers - Valras - Pezenas - Agde - Cap D'Agde - Vias - Portiragne Plage areas etc...

I am wondering if anyone is aware of towns between Montpellier and Bezier that would have vide grenier (garage sales) and when they would be held? We are moving and have a few items we would like to sell. Thanks

The famous "festival de Prades" offers a free concert on April 18th to introduce the winners of their competition. I was there last year and it was just brilliant! If you have a chance, don't hesitate. And to make things even better it takes place in the Abbaye de Cuxa (at 4pm)....

No joke! The play is "Fragments" by Samuel Beckett and it will be performed in English (with French subtitles!) at the theatre Jacques Coeur on the 2nd and 3rd of April. This is right South of Montpellier, close to the A9 exit, easy to find.

The Frank Oz movie will be shown at 8:30pm at the MJC in Narbonne, in English VO. The MJC is 4, rue lieutenant-colonel Deymes which is next to the cathedral.

Fancy doing something different Saturday 28th March? I am organising a swing dance workshop for our members at the English speaking association Britsnimes and wondered if you would like to join us at Centre de Danse Daniel Manin, 7 bis rue Sainte Felicite 30000 Nimes. The workshop takes place from 10am-4.30pm with a 2 1/2hr lunch break. Even if you are not a member, why not come and discover Britsnimes and enjoy a great day of dancing! You will learn the Lindy Hop, a dance that originated in Harlem between the 1920s & 40s which evolved with jazz music. Dance to Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Glenn Miller, Louis Prima and Ray Charles - infectious music that you cannot help but get into! Couples & singles are welcome. The price for a couple is 60 euros and for a single 40 euros (payable to the dance school) with coffee and a cold drink included - a great price for a whole days dancing with a professional dancer! Daniel is a great teacher and he also speaks English, you will get the steps in no time! Relaxing/friendly atmosphere, air-conditioned room, really easy steps! Great exercise and a great laugh! The lunch is optional (salad, pizza, pasta etc) at approximately 10-15 euros pp. Book early! I do hope you will join us there! If you have any questions or would like any further information, please do not hesitate contact me. You can also find further details at www.britsnimes.com under Future Dates! Please contact me at victoria@britsnimes.com or on 06 13 93 57 99 to make your reservation by the latest 6pm Wednesday 18th of March. Keep Dancing! Kind regards Victoria James
