A gospel group from New Orleans I saw a few years ago at Jazz a Juan is playing tomorrow (Friday) 15 August at the eglise in Marciac. Craig Adams is the great nephew of Fats Domino and has a great voice but his accompanying singers are also incredible. I hate comparing singers to other singers but Dale Blade has a rich and soulful voice like Sam Cooke.  I highly recommend getting out and seeing them tomorrow. 11:00 at the eglise in Marciac. Free entry!

Just a heads-up that there's an airshow going on in Clarac near St Gaudens this weekend. The proceeds go to benefit those living with disabilities. Entry on Saturday is free I think. Sunday is 5 euros. They'll have rides in helicopters and planes and whatnot so it'll be fun for your speed freaks!  

Another good night ahead full of classic rock, Stones, Pretenders, Dire STraits, Amy Winehouse covers. Its free and starts around 8:30-ish. Great beer & malts, and yummy savoury crepes.

An evening with Blues Café at the holiday village on the lake at La Domaine Lacs de Gascogne Playing outside on the main terrace    Free entry with food and bar      Seissan is between Auch and Masseube        Follow signs from the village centre Country Rock    Blues     Celtic folk rock from around 20.30         Jeff         9685 46 40 39

Just had a phone call telling me the Jeff Beck Concert has been cancelled - shame. http://www.infoconcert.com/ticket/concert-jeff-beck-marciac/780162.html seems to confirm it. We were able to get a refund on our tickets - the official web site has not been updated yet.

Reading on an 'all France' forum about the loss of TV reception since the beam realignment recently wonder what the situation is in a part of our area. Our house is to the east and midway between a line from L'Isle en Dodon and Boulogne SG. We have a 130cm dish. Is there still reception or do we need to bring a few DVDs when we come over on the 15th.

The Dolly Blues Band will be playing at the Bar du Bastion (opposite the Post Office in Lectoure) this Friday 6th at 9pm till 11pm, ....for a good night of Stones, Doobies, Dire Straits, Ami Winehouse, Doors, Wild Cherry and more, come and dance your shoes away!!!

I'm living near St. Girons and wonder if there are any places to dance or take dance classes in Tango, Salsa or West Coast Swing?  Thank you.
