Sadly, I quite simply can't make it for this one, much as I'd like to - a splendid line up with some of my favourite musicians in a beautiful setting and (hopefully) good weather as well; it looks like I'm fated never to see Kew.Rhone performed live (unless it's added to next year's RIO festival). I look forward to reading about it and seeing the photos!

I am confused. (not surprising) Is the last day of the festival the 25th of May? or the 24th? Who is playing on the 25th?

I would so, so very much love to see this, and Kew Rhone is one of my favouritest of favourite albums.  I don't think I can make it, though I'd love to take the family on a trip to France.  I definitely live in the wrong place.

yes but just very brief, occasional, fun late-night wine-soaked love letters... not much information...

he told me he couldn't possibly change any keys...

I told him I might change some melodies...

c'est tout     

kidding about the love letters       

I am invisible   very bad correspondent   worse with the phone    drive John mad

Peter B and I are asking around also re royal rent-free accomodations. wish there were more ways to say
'thank you' 'thanks' 'merci'

Lisa,
if you are looking for a hot dress Paris is not the worst place, even so NYC isn't so bad either.Wink
 
 BTW I just got a mail from Aymeric Leroy....the concerts will take place friday  23/05 ("The Lodge") and saturday 24/05 ("Kew Rhone") in Bourgoin-Jallieu (Lyon), the accomododation on place  during the concerts and the days before are taken in charge by  Aymeric, (You can contact him  under [email protected]), but not your Paris stay. If I hear from a available free flat  in Paris I let you know....Are you in contact with John?
 
à plus
 
Martin

merci bien Martin,

and thanks also for your kindness and the information    

the Paris dates depend on finding a place. Peter and I both had places to stay but they both fell through

if a place were available for the entire month of May I'd be there

maintenant, I have a ticket, a downloaded copy of kew.rhone., and a sense of humor

eventually I'll need digs and a hot dress (dress not your purview, of course)

Yours,

LH

Salut Lisa,
first a big hello and myself and a lot of fans will be happy to see you on stage for the presentation of the faboulous 'Kew Rhone'....in fact the place is not Lyon itself but a small place called Bourgoin-Jallieu about 30 km ouside on the countryside! Normally in may this is just a gorgeous area to be! I spoke to Aymeric Leroy last saturday and he is looking for a nice hotel near the venue. As for Paris, I will ask Aymeric if he had already booked something for you and Peter...otherwise I can check out myself, if you give me the dates
à bientôt
 
Martin

Gee I didn't know we were playing in Lyon or that we were playing 2 dates there. I just knew I had to show up in Paris early to mid May....

Anyone know of a place for me and Blegvad to stay?
