Hello!
Coming up at on
21 June is the Fete de la Music
traditionally held in France on midsummer’s day. It all began in 1982 when the then Minister
of Culture Jack Lang decided to revive the pagan Festival of St Jean. He invited musicians from all walks of life
to join together and give free concerts.
Over 30 years later the event has spread throughout the world.
This year 21
falls mid-week and so there are Fete de la Music celebrations spreading through
the length of the whole week, including the 2 weekends.
There will be a
concert near you to enjoy this coming weekend (and the next) – have a good
time.
Whatever you do
in the Gironde and Dordogne regions, have a good time.
Best wishes,
Helen

Hopper (Helen Mirren) to John Wayne, Kirk Douglas and Otto Preminger.
